Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks

    The teracube doesn’t play nice with android auto because of its slow slow processor. I do love the headphone jack, though. I definitely hear you. However, I’d rather have a phone with a long-term warranty that I can fix than an otherwise perfect phone with a headphone jack that’s dead after a year and a half because I’m clumsy, and I dropped it. There’s basically two phones for that, and I use android auto and other performance bottle necking apps more often than I use wired headphones.

      There is literally no reason for fairphone to not include a headphone jack. Beside lining their own pockets. It is easily user serviceable and replaceable. And I’d even argue the the demo this phone is targeted at i.e. ppl who even give enough of a shit to service their own phone would be excited to have a headphone jack. I mean they used to but fairphone removed it when they introduced their Bluetooth headphones. Something that is easily way less “green” or user serviceable than a nice pair of wired headphones.

      Everything about them not having a headphone jack leaves a bad taste in my mouth especially in perspective with this companies “misson”

        I definitely agree all the way down. Like I said though, the teracube can be borderline unusable though with its poor CPU. The ideal would be an upgraded teracube

            Teracube is another right to repair consumer electronics brand. They have the computational specifications of a Walmart phone you only expect to use until the phone you got to replace the phone you dropped down two flights of stairs ships. Just super basic. You can use them for texts, calls, podcasts, and social networks, but don’t expect much else from them. Mine takes about 45 seconds to get GPS apps working

              Yeah so just get a moto g or some shit then. Lol Whats the point of repairing something that can’t run basic apps well or efficiently.

                I don’t think you understand how clumsy I am lol. Moto Gs treated me well for a long time, but I really needed to give something with a much longer warranty / ability to reapair
