Have they improved with newer models? I had a Fairphone 2, but it would regularly crash when using it on my bike (I assume modular design and vibrations didn’t really work that well) and after a few dozen times of removing the cover the plastic started to crack already.

I loved the mission statement, but the product itself seemed a bit lacking and needed handling it very carefully.

I really hate that it is becoming mandatory. I would have preferred the option to either have a reasonably priced service to replace the battery or have it user replaceable. Forcing one solution just seems not very consumer friendly.

I don’t like the compromises they have to make to make them easily replaceable and I never had a battery fail on me.
