Fairphone’s repairable smartphone goes on sale in US for the first time
- nineluj 3y ago> Just one wrinkle: It’s only being recommended for use with T-Mobile and MVNOs based on the T-Mobile network in the U.S., with the pair warning that using Fairphone 4 with other US carriers is “not recommended”. I wonder why this is, as other unlocked Android phones such as the one I'm using (Pixel 6) seem to work just as well on different carriers. I could see this being a large issue for adoption.
- gruez 3y agoProbably because of frequency band and/or VoLTE whitelisting shenanigans. The pixel 6 that you talk about has a specific american version for that reason.
- d13 3y agoI find it strange that a product’s primary marketing message is that it will be expected to break and need repairs.
