It's not clear to me how many of the components are swappable in this version. That was a big selling point of the Fairphone to begin with.

- hashworks 1y agoThe website speaks of 12 modules, haven't investigated which.
- lower 1y agoThe shop has the 12 available replacement parts: https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?category=4&filters=147 https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/category/spare-parts-4?categ...
- whilenot-dev 1y agoThe technical descriptions are clearly lacking, up to the point where this product page almost makes me angry... the dimensions seem to be "156.5mm x 73.3mm" with "9,6 mm" thickness, but just right below in the isometric view it says 162mm x 75.5mm x 10.5mmm. I would be really interested in this product as replacement for the iPhone SE, but how can they screw up something so simple?
- t0bia_s 1y agoAnything above 72mm is too big to use it comfortable by one hand or put it in pocket. I wish there is compact android phone with open bootloadet option.
- berkes 1y agoToo big for you, or too big for almost everyone? If the latter, do you have a source or some research to point to? If the former, why did you choose to present a personal preference as a common truth?
- t0bia_s 1y agoWhat is a common truth?
- berkes 1y agoUniversal truth?
- t0bia_s 1y agoBased on what? Subjective observation? Just because majoroty repeat something, it doeant meant that it is true. Conformity behavior shape opinions on observable facts, look at Asch experiments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asch_conformity_experiments
- reyqn 1y agoAccording to this https://github.com/the-pudding/data/tree/master/pockets https://github.com/the-pudding/data/tree/master/pockets data, only 27.5% of women's jeans and 97.5% of men's jean could fit a phone wider than 72mm in their front pocket. While not a common truth, it is a little annoying. For this phone in particular, it's 5% for women and 85% for men. Assuming a lot of things, the majority of the population cannot fit this in their pocket. It's hard to find research about this, but I think a lot of people might think that yes, phones are too big. (And that's not even thinking about hand size and how it affect comfort of use).
- NoThisIsMe 1y agoI also wish there were more compact options, but the Pixel 8 is 71mm wide and you can unlock the bootloader. And if you're gonna run a custom ROM, the Pixel 5 is still a decent option.
- t0bia_s 1y agoTrue, but if you don't want to give your money to google or use anything from them (why would I need custom ROM?), then your options are quite limited.
- mrweasel 1y agoSizes of modern phones are interesting. Manufactures doesn't mind making phones into small tablet devices, but make them a bit thinker... That's crazy talk.
