They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

It would be so awesome if they’d release a smaller, maybe like a 5.5 inch phone. I have big hands and still often struggle.
To be fair that’s a problem with all manufacturers. But yes they should provide much longer support. At least 5 years. I’d also happily pay for an extended support after that if it’s still working.
I’d love them to support the project more! Degoogling is still hard. GrapheneOS support would be awesome too.
I didn’t get this trend in the first place. It looks ugly on all phones. Still they keep adding them like their life depends on it.
Their position on this is that they are too small to run two product lines in parallel, so they focus on what the majority of customers want. And that’s unfortunately not smaller phones :(
That’s so unfortunate. I’d still rather buy their phones than supporting Apple or any other soulless corporation. Even if they have the perfect phone
Definitely, but then again, it’s not like the soulless corporations have any smaller phones. My current phone is a shiftphone, at least that is designed for working with LineageOS out of the box.
Interesting. Haven’t heard about them. Would you be ready to post a link to them into the community? :)

Thanks!
I was especially miffed when they decided to prioritize fair trade materials over a free and de-googled OS. That was around 2017ish, and now we have the proof how quickly even the big corporate players can turn fascist, as the de-googled phone users haven’t been telling everyone for at least a decade why it’s a really really bad idea to have your phone talk with some corporate server outside of your phone provider (bad enough but necessary to use a phone) on everything you do.
I suppose they did that to make it as easy as possible to get into it. It’s sad but it’s just how it is.
I wouldn’t buy “as easy as possible” from Hitler-Germany, so why would I accept a product from a company creating the control tools for the next generation fascist regime, knowing full well the potential consequenced?
