Pinephone give a month warranty, that's it. Its a dealbreaker for any consumer. Pinephone Pro can get you through the day, but it goes for 400 plus duties, and it also only has a month warranty. Kickstarter, Indiegogo can get away scamming or false advertising.
Instead, look at Framework and Fairphone how a company can release a modular device, for a realistic price.
- usbqk 5y agoIn Europe they can’t do that.
- chrismorgan 5y agoIn Australia, if they had an Australian presence they couldn’t do that, but given that they don’t, and each individual is importing a device, the Australian consumer protection laws don’t apply.
- asojfdowgh 5y agoI'm not fussed about the warranty so much as the "updates" period, which, if everything gets upstreamed, might be 10+ years with the pinephone, something that very very few can hold a candle to (afaik fairphone only gets there if you also include 3rd party support) Framework is, afaik, a bunch of people who have already several long years of wrangling laptop devices and their supply chains, similarly Fairphone is on their 4th iteration, a lot of long years And more importantly, even with all those years behind their products, I can't buy either of 'em, I however have a pinephone in my hands already
