Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That’s actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What’s everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

    Indeed. Batteries are consumables, not something that should be babied from 20% to 80% because it’s too difficult to replace.

      You don’t need to baby your batteries anymore. The is what the battery management system is for. Just plug it in whenever you feel like – for how long you want to.

        Think what he means is that with a fairphone you don’t have to care about how you treat your battery, because you can replace it within 5 minutes for around 40 bucks
