If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they're not concerned about repairability but price.

I'd love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can't.

-no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)

-no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)

  • mediocre camera

I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.

I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.

Waterproof and repairability are really at odds.

Yeah,but it's possible - maybe not everything,but for a lot of components it is possible.
