@voxel @thenewoil personally, I refuse to buy any #phone that doesn't have #toolfree swappable & removeable batteries as a matter of principle.
- Same with real #DualSIM, #HeadphoneJack and #MicroSD...
I just don't accept #Enshittification!

@krutonium @quasigod I mean the advantage is that those devices are supported with @GrapheneOS ...
Personally, I need my #ToolfreeSwappableBattery, #DualSIM and #microSD as well s #HeadphoneJack and won't negotiate these, so #Fairphone is already loosing me as a customer and my next device will likely be something else...
@lispi314 @halva @chfour +9001%
There's no legitimate reason i.e. #Fairphone could've continued to jeep a #repairaboe & #replaceable #HeadphoneJack!

@halva +9001%
Just like #ToolfreeSwappableBattery and real #DualSIM (not #eSIM! If I want that I'll get that myself...)
@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!
@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!
Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.
That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...
Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.
What really pisses me off is that everyone thinks @frameworkcomputer and #Fairphone are glorious, when in fact even #Framework13 & #Fairphone4 / #Fairphone5 are objectively #Downgrade|s compared to what I'm currently using: [ #ThinkPad #X230Tablet & #Fairphone3plus ]
The newer Fairphones don't have real #DualSIM and instead of a 2nd SIM Slot a shitty #eSIM and removed the #HeadphoneJack for no valid reason!
#Framework doesn't have #ToolfreeSwappable #Batteries so having more #offgrid range isn't done by a quick swap on the go.
@vxo Yeah, I know, everyone likes the #GP200 with the pogo pins.
Or even better: JUST INCLUDE A #HeadphoneJack (like any sane person wants)!
@vxo @plut0nium I just wished #Fairphone would've kept the #HeadphoneJack cuz I love my Logitech #G433 headset with it's fully removeable cables and mic...
@chr1st1an thanks.
I did hear about @shiftphones / #shift in the past, but that #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack is kinda non-negotiable.
Still, for others this may be the option...
@Pandora @murena @e_mydata @gael
I am aware of #murena and #eOS and I do think they are great.
It's just that with the #Fairphone3plus being #OutOfProduction there isn't any viable option that ticks my boxes...
no real #DualSIM and no #HeadphoneJack are #WontBuy for me, even if some people think having the freedom to switch devices without the network operators' blessing and being able to just plug in a decent headphone instead of some #unrepariable #bluetooth #garbage is a "nieche case"...
Why are there no good phones on the market?
I don't want much:
#Android (#iOS is cringe and everything else is either a rounding error or dead anyway!)
#HeadphoneJack (Cuz I use that thing and #USB-#Dongles are shite! #Sony already did #Waterproof #Smartphones WITH 3,5mm Jacks over a decade ago!)
#DualSIM (And I mean real Dual-SIM, not #eSIM! with TWO real basebands to be able to have data & calling at the same time, cuz I need that! Bonus Points if it's baseband works with #SnoopSnitch... )
#repairable like a #Fairphone ( #ToolfreeSwappable #Batteries are non-negotiable! Bonus Points if it can run off USB-C power only w/o a battery or allows hot-swapping of batteries w/o interruptions!)
#affordable ( < €500 ) or at least not absurdly expensive. (If I gonna pay like €1k+ I might just buy an #Iridium Extreme 9575 PTT used or an #IridiumGOexec instead!=
No #Bloatware (this includes no #GAPPS / #GoogleApps as mandated for #GooglePlay! Just give me #LineageOS or like a clean #AOSP image...)
@SecurityWriter Also I still hate #Fairphone's asshole move to remove the #HeadphoneJack like #Apple...
@CppGuy @Jessica not exactly...
#Fairphone is #enshittifying faster by killing non-negotiable features like a #HeadphoneJack and real #DualSIM (if I want an #eSIM I'd buy an eSIM-card - yes those exist!)...
@GrapheneOS good.
Now I just need to find a device that you support that isn't a gued-shut & unrepairable mess with real #DualSIM, #MicroSD & #HeadphoneJack...
I really wished you'd support #shift and #Fairphone|s...
@timixretroplays nodds in agreement
The faster and harder the #Enshittification hits the more pressing the need becomes to #DIY stuff because everything is being #enshittified and #downgraded.
#Fairphone steals the 2nd #SIM Slot and #HeadphoneJack for no valid reason.
Even @frameworkcomputer doesn't iffer #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries anymore.
It's increasingly aggravating...
@niko TBH, I want a #phone not just with a #HeadphoneJack and #USBc but also #PoE + #GigabitEthernet built-in!
Cuz a PoE dock would be fecking awesome!
Also I don't mind a #BigChungus Phone!

@eri But sadly #Fairphone nowadays does the same, removing the #HeadphoneJack and #DualSIM / 2nd #SIM slot for the #Fairphone4 & #Fairphone5 for no good reason whatsoever!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg0497vB4uc&t=257s
And yes, I am #StillMad and angry about it!
@lmorchard I'm still not a fan of #Fairphone cancelling the #Headphone jack for no good reason.
I mean, #Sony made the #XperieZ3 that was literally advertised for #Selfies in the #pool and that had a #TRRS 3,5mm jack so no excuse to not have on on the #Fairphone4 & #Fairphone5.
Maybe put it on a replaceable module or include some attached rubber pin to seal it shut when not in use...
Still, I am looking for something that comes close to my #Fairphone3plus since #Fairphone doesn't offer the #Fairphone3+ anymore and all subsequent models neither have real #DualSIM nor #HeadphoneJack and both are (like a #toolfree-replaceable and swappable battery) non-negotiable #MustHave - Features...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg0497vB4uc
So if you find some good #Android device that does that and isn't instant #Abandonware like the #Unihertz #Jelly Series with their #GluedInBatteries let me know down below...
One thing I like about the #Xperia is that #Sony is not brave enough to take away #microSD readers, #headphoneJack , a fingerprint reader outside the screen or top and bottom bezels for front facing speakers.
And this without taking away of those flagship goodies like godlike 21:9 screen or a camera straight from Sony's R&D
And even the short update support can be mitigated by Sony's excellent support for #AOSP
