    I’m waiting on the articles two years from now where google annunces that they’re not going to fulfil this promise because Reasons.

    I’m looking forward to the eventual teardown when we get to see how easy it is to swap the battery

      Would be a pleasure if you could take it out from the back instead of having to rip out the screen.

      That and a replacable usb c port.

    How does this compare to the Fairphone 5 and their promise of updates and parts? Trying to figure out what’s best for my money

          i was disapointed i wanted to get the 5 but it seems the chip they used is more for industrial use so it doesnt fair well in mobile devices when it comes to battery, i can live with crappy camera, but not a crappy battery life. guess ill have to wait for the 6

        Battery life doesn’t matter on the Fairphone 5 when you can swap the battery in seconds.

        Dang that sucks. I’m already having battery issues with my S21 so I was hoping the Fairphone would be better

    That’s great, just hope they live up to the promise. I remember having a Note 3 with swappable batteries, but 3 years later all I could get was crappy 3rd party batteries.
