If only i knew the truths 😞

They rounded it on the wrong axis

I may have found a phone for you. It’s called the unihertz tank 2

• 12gb ram
• 256GB memory (expandable)
• 15500 mah battery
• 60W charging
• 120hz display

Comes with a few other really interesting features you don’t see on any other phone (like a goddamn laser projector?), though i think the processor is a little underpowered.

I wish thicker bezels were more common tbh. It’s annoying to swipe from the side of the screen when my case is in the way.

i don’t think they like the android community much since a lot of the community is dedicated toward getting away from the surveillance and theft that Google profits from.

Unihertz is awesome. I wish there was a phone like the jelly star but non-tiny as i like big screens.

Yes, it is good, but this step forward is only the result of an arguably bigger step backward, which is why people are bringing it up.

Not to mention we already had repairable wired headphones that we can’t use now if we get a fairphone.

I think part of the conversation is about how they got rid of the headphone jack shortly before releasing these. While it is good that these exist, it seems like they exist as a result of a popular anti-consumer business choice that people don’t like, and is thus tied to that choice.

Yeah, idk why people are downvoting you so hard. There are some seriously good passive noise cancellation buds out there. Kind of insane when you actually try them.

Alright, i thought i was going crazy for a minute there.

Especially with the growing trend to use wireless headphones to push people to buy new headphones when they don’t need them. It does nothing but create waste and lose us money.

How could they leave unihertz out of this lineup?

Maybe it’s both. How come your okay with them making people throw away their perfectly good headphones?

Because the entire point of fairphone is to not do those sorts of things. I’d rather not see them go the way of enthusiast phones and use greenwashing to get them popular so they can turn around and be another unethical smartphone giant. It’s worthwhile to call them out on stuff like this.

Glad there’s a pair of wireless earbuds with replaceable batteries now, but it’s pretty obvious that they only removed the headphone jack on their phone so they could sell more of these. i don’t want to encourage scummy business practices like this from fairphone of all businesses, especially when all it does is worsen the user experience and create more waste.

Edit for clarity

Edit 2: am i actually in the wrong here? People seem to disagree with me pretty strongly.

Edit 3: it seems like my comments here aren’t showing up in other instances. Something weird going on.

They were no more of a pain than fishing out a wireless holder, and they took up even less space. The reason people used wireless was because manufacturers stopped giving people the option to use wired. That being said, having a headphone jack still lets you use wireless.

And nobody actually uses wired for audio quality, they use it because they don’t have to charge their headphones and separate headphone case or deal with the health of another battery, they can connect and disconnect their audio devices faster and easier, they don’t have to pay for an extra wireless chip and dac in their headphones or a third battery and electronics in a case.

There’s actually quite a few good reasons to have the option available if you want it. I’d argue this is a “dress with no pockets” scenario, where everybody begrudgingly puts up with it because the manufacturers don’t give them an option.

Pretty much every single person i talk to about this thinks that removing the headphone jack was a stupid idea, and those who don’t think it’s stupid are indifferent anyway.

I’m waiting for a fairphone with a headphone jack and then hopping on that.
