Remember when you could pop open a phone, swap the battery, and keep going? Fairphone remembers. Their latest release, the Fairphone 6, feels like a nostalgic nod to sanity, with plenty of modern upgrades.
This is a phone that puts people and planet before profits. Sure, it doesn’t have the camera chops to take on a flagship, and USB-2 feels a bit retro in 2025, but what it lacks in bragging rights, it makes up for in staying power.
Yeah the waterproof bags don’t work very well in my experience. I use them on ocean stuff, but for dinghy sailing I need to be able to use the touchscreen quickly and effectively which isn’t really possible with the bags. I even have a pretty nice bag.
Fair. I do kayak and canoe in freshwater, don’t have much saltwater experience. For that I’ve never needed anything the bag didn’t get me.
