While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

And I give it a 0/10 on having a 3.5mm connector

Is that really that much of an issue in the age of USB-C?

Yes, I should be able to play music, AND charge the phone without a 9 wire adapter like those universal charger plugs from 10 years ago. Wild concept. I wonder when phone tech will be able to support such a thing

I think phones should have 2 USB-C ports

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Only if I can charge 2x as fast!! 😉

There is one that offers this, it has to batteries as well.

Live by the wire, die by the wire(with a 3.5mm plug/jack of course)

This and most phones literally let you do what you're saying right now.
