      I wanted a FairPhone, but they have yet to sell officially in the US and I couldn’t afford to deal with the potential difficulties involved with not having the right bands.

        To me its a no brainer for them to start selling in the US. Brands like Framework are getting a lot of hype for their reparability and longevity. Being a mobile brand stepping in to offer a smartphone to compliment Framework’s laptops could be fantastic. Plus there’s a wave of people demanding right to repair legislation in the US, Fairphone would do well to harness that I think.

        Is it the LCD display? I don’t even have a monitor on my PC that’s better than 1080p 60Hz should be fine for a phone

          There’s a noticeable difference in higher framrates in phones even on general usage.

          We are talking about fairphone 3 though? And fairphone 5 has really shit battery life, no headphone jack and a mediocre at best camera for it’s price point.

        Bruh what kind of extra special eyes do you have 😳

        As a sidenote I do find it funny that my FP3 can record at 120fps… more than the built in display’s framerate lol
