    I love the idea but the price is too high for the chip given that this is designed to be a lengevity phone. A chip like the 7s Gen 3 would make the phone sluggish after a couple of years with how unoptimised todays apps are.

    The Gorilla Glass 7i and IP55 water resistance are also concerning given that budget Samsung, Xiaomi, etc phones beat this.

    However having components of the phone being easily replacable is a great thing.

      I think it’s important to remember that the price is higher because they pay their factory workers a living wage and use a combination of recycled and fair materials.

      It looks expensive because other phones are cheap, and other phones are cheap because they are exploiting people to make them.
