Fairphone is doing it

[–] Phoonzang@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Did they solve their quality problems in the newest iterations? I had a 2 and a 3, and boy were those pieces of crap. Not the 3 I had to replace so many modules over its life span of 5 years that it kind of defeat the purpose, as it probably was a total of electronics enough for three phones. And it had so many weird bugs which took months to fix (the mic stopping to work after using a certain app, the not working auto brightness, just to name the annoying ones).

I really, really like the idea behind the Fairphone, but I just could not see past the crappiness of the phone (especially at their price point).

I think that 4 and 5 should be generations ahead. But I haven't had them in my hands.

I'm on a fp4 right now and yes, it feels like a completely different brand. There used to be a bug, where sometimes the display would spazz out, but that got fixed.

As a concept Fairphone would be the ideal smartphone in my worldview. The only thing lacking is mainline Linux support, so not only hardware can in theory live forever but also software, like desktop and laptops have right now.

Is fairphone compatible in the US? Or would another phone work with US carriers?

[–] SeekPie@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Couldn't tell, I'm from Europe

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 1 points 9 months ago

I know the newest one isn't available in the US, not sure about compatibility
