      Bullshit

      If you can afford a cheaper mobile that you change every 2-3 years you can also afford this one that you’ll replace in 5 years.

    I’m in Canada, and I bought a Fairphone 2 a few months back. It was shipped overseas from an unofficial dealer, since Fairphone itself no longer deals with the Fairphone 2, and it no longer provides replacement items for the Fairphone 2.

    I installed LineageOS on it. It worked great. But recently the battery was showing signs of decay. I looked for a replacement, but nowhere could I find anything. The phone now is just a paperweight.

    Granted, it was released almost 8 years ago. But, I think it’s a shame that it’s no longer supported. I do feel that, if replacements were even more feasible, that this phone of mine could have continued for even longer.
