I just want to change my battery and get a phone for that no people had to die In some poor country.

Like seriously, what's the percentage of people that run machine learning algorithms on their phone? 0.0000000001%?

I miss removable batteries so much. I was so disappointed that project aria never went anywhere

[–] Havald@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I need a new phone soon, can't really wait until the EU regulations force companies to build them with removable batteries. I need to look more into Fairphone, hope that's decent. Last review I read made me concerned about battery life, I really don't like charging my phone every day either. Or having to carry a power bank with me.

I don't think there's anything on the market that comes even close to the modularity aria had promised. Moto z had some mods but they dropped that very quickly unfortunately.

My fairphone4 has been really good so far. If battery power is an issue you could just bring one spare but I haven't needed to do that yet

[–] Havald@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Bringing a spare is a good point. Less of a hassle than a power bank (although still not ideal). Battery life is pretty much the only thing I care about aside from longevity. Fairphone has longevity covered, maybe the review I read just made the battery life seem mich worse than it actually is. I'll have to look into it some more, thanks
