I’m still on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. People getting new phones every year or two do it because they want to, they don’t keep their phone in a case, or it got ran over or lost at sea or stolen.
My phone is five years old. Five years from now there will be very few Faiphone six’s left in use. Why do you think they’re already on their sixth iteration of phone? Can you upgrade the Fairphone two and make it just as good as the six?
Fairphone advertised itself as a long term upgradeable option, but the reality of it is that no one really keeps them longer than many other phones. They dropped pretty much any modular upgrade features they originally were shooting for.
I don’t hate it or anything, but having 8 years of security updates in a phone that’s 2 years behind on an apu and only has 8GB of ram is a mixed bag of usefulness. It’s good, but you’re left paying $900 for a $400 phone, hardware wise.
I’ve had some issues with buggy UI. that’s mostly because I’m using a different homeapp than what it came with because the stock one is garbage.
a mostly enjoyable experience and hope to have at least another 6-8 years on it.
designed my own protective case that hides the wireless charger. it’s probably the best case on any phone I’ve ever had. the 10 or so times I have dropped it, more damage was done to the ground than to the phone or case.
it’s put dents in my hardwood and even chipped off the blacktop of a parking lot. my wife thought she broke her toe once when she dropped it and tried to stop it from falling with her foot.
the phone is a fuckin tank and reminds me of the old Nokia bar phones.

Nokia bar phones didn’t need a case on em.
I have a FP 4 that is just starting to get screen burn. I will probably just replace the screen soon to be honest and keep using it.

hey phone twin how’s life with your atrophied pinkie finger?
Lol. Fantastic, but I gotta switch hands sometimes for my pinky.
Yep, I have an old iPhone SE and it’s still working. This Fairphone has perked my interest as a possible replacement.
