That’s the beauty of the Fairphone shop.fairphone.com/…/fairphone-4-usb-c-port-25
Ugggg I was so close to pulling to trigger for one on my last phone death. But I was doing all this comparison and pricing, and at the end of it all, realized they arent sold in my shithole country and had like a extra 200 hundy shipping price. So im still android and the ogle. But next time… pretty sure itll be fairphone.
By the way, any users of the Mint mobile service who have a fairphone who see this comment, please respond to me. Im still only like 90 percent sure I use one with that plan.
As long as the parts are available.
Haven’t needed them myself, but I’ve heard stories where they couldn’t get a replacement part because it was sold out. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Still, it is such a robust phone.
Digging around the forums it’s really easy to find replacements! FP3 replacement parts are still widely available, and you can find FP2 parts by doing a bit of digging. Remember to contact your local Fairphone Angel too!

Now if only the hardware wasn’t subpar and the OS unusable…

How is the OS unusable when you can always install a custom rom?
Fairphone even encourages it.

Didn’t know that but I’ve not rooted in quite some years because Google actively opposes it and not everything works as well. But good point. I do however stand by my hardware point. Wish they made a premium Fairphone.

For me it works perfectly fine. I don’t need a super computer in my pocket
