Is the fairphone really worth it? (feddit.it)

The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

Wasn't the FP4 launched in the US recently?

I had to search, and so it was! https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/5/23783714/murena-fairphone-4-us-release-date-price-sustainability-repair

It’s still currently not budgetable, but it’s closer! Thanks for great news!

Why did you think it wouldn't be allowed in USA?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Honestly? Because politicians and citizens alike would use it as a rallying cry, label it “European soshulist garbage.” Ffs, they even aoc and Bernie claim they’re socialists. They aren’t.
