I agree with you in general except the fair phone isn’t particularly open, it’s only got a 1080p LCD screen for the cost and no headphone jack (not open imo). T

I agree with you in general except the fair phone isn’t particularly open, it’s only got a 1080p LCD screen for the cost and no headphone jack (not open imo). The Samsung s10e has good specs, good hardware and headphones. In magisk I have force enable dark mode to save power on oled. https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-dark-mode-toggle-per-app/ https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-dark-mode-toggle-pe...

I think the Fairphone is the most open Android device out there, which is kind of sad really. And yes you definitely overpay for the privilege of buying a phone with replaceable parts from a small manufacturer. If you're going for open hardware, Samsung is a rather odd choice. Then again, any Android phone is more open than iPhones are.

  What makes android hardware more "open"? Software support is more important rather than open design, like the market for aftermarket for iPhone batteries is going to be much cheaper for them, so maintenance is cheaper, and because of project treble all newer Android phones will have mainline linux kernel support and have updated kernels, I don't see how Fairphone is more "open" compared to the alternatives or what you can do better when the volume of developers will matter for support more.
