A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I live in France, I wanted a phone with buttons that wasn't just an ODM with a different logo on it. It is an interesting company. I've had some contact with them. They are legit going to pull out of China and move production back to France. They uphold their 5 year warranty promise as well.

And, they update their stuff. I'm on Android 13 and apparently older devices are still receiving updates too.

I'm getting some low-key Fairphone vibes there. Cool stuff!

It would be pretty low-key. I wouldn't want to pry this phone open and then glue it back together. Fairphones are supposed to be rather easy to repair.

Yeah, that's true. I meant the software support/warranty aspect.
