I like the concept, but without a truly open OS; like pinephone is doing with GNU/Linux, it's still a device controlled by the most powerful company on the planet.

If only they sold their phones to the 99% of us who live outside of Europe. π
Edit: Guys, not literally 99% of the human population... It was a joke playing with the idea of "the 1%" having privilege over "the 99%"... You guys who can buy this phone "are in the 1%". No need to be a number Nazi π

Some days ago a bought an Oppo F11(model from like 4 years ago) with 6GB/128GB from a random AliExpress seller, brand new for like 60 bucks.. so I am not paying $700 for a FP5 if I can keep buying a new cheap device every 2-3 years for $60. What's the point into repairing a smartphone if I can get a new smartphone for the repairing price? LOL. I believe this thing about FP it's more about the hype and gossip than for repairability tbh.
