>Actually [the swapped back button] is not [valid criticism], and who the h [sic], still uses buttons in 2024? I mean, never heard of gestures?
I still use buttons, because I switch between apps and find it more intuitive. I also think the screen taking up the entire front face of a phone has been a disaster.

  @thatbrickster@shitposter.world I think all the Fairphones after version 3 kinda suck because they made it bigger, removed the headphone jack and added bullshit I don't care about like multiple cameras.
  
  I'm just gonna try and run my Fairphone 3 as long as possible.

  @thatbrickster@shitposter.world On Linus' comments:
  No wireless chargingDumb bloat feature to make phones more expensive. Imagine being so lazy you can't even plug in cable.
  Why do I need to remove the battery to change the SD cardThis is valid I guess.
  Pretending the FP5 bezels are thick somehowThey are so fucking thin and I hate it. Stop pushing for this. I want thick bezels that protect the screen. And I want to able to hold my phone and not accidentally touch stuff.
  Shouting DAMN BOY at a 120 mm profileOh yes I sure love it when they make my phone even more thin so it bends in my pocket and overheats and explodes. Just like with bezels, make it more thick.
  212g is heavyYes it is heavy. The FP3 weighs only 189g. The FP4 and FP5 added bloat.
  Gaming performanceImagine gaming on a phone lol
  The CPU is based on older ARM design that can't catch up with newer chips.Yeah the Fairphone guy is correct. You can still do phone stuffs with older chips. Email, call, etc. who cares.
  Every other "dealbreaker" being just a stock software issue (sound, launcher, camera app, etc.).[Laughs in LineageOS]
  Other phones are not that hard to work on.Oh yeah I sure love taking my isopropyl, heating pad, suction cups, guitar picks and B1000 glue everywhere with me where I go. My Fairphone just needs a single screwdriver so I can take always take apart my phone "in the field" if it is needed. Absolute worst take of the video. The iFixit score is actually right here.

  @sally@shitposter.world @thatbrickster@shitposter.world @sun@shitposter.world Only the big channels that actually care about maximum engagement metrics or whatever do stupid shit like this.
  
  There are many cool and niche communities on Youtube that don't really care and just make videos for the sake of it (I wish they would mirror their uploads on other websites tho, in case youtube takes them down).

  @SuperDicq @thatbrickster @sun but it is thick, not the silver bezel but the black parts around the screen. No other modern phone has this. making the bezel silver was a bad idea too, as it makes the black parts jumped out more.

  Do you even notice the bezels when you are actually looking at the phone screen? I don't.

  @lain @SuperDicq @sun @thatbrickster It has the same amount of bezels as my Motorola G Power 2020 model. I got that for 80 euros few years back. So does that make the bezels thicc or not? Idk. Seems normal to me, because I don't follow any modern high budget phones.
  
  Personally I like bezels. I had to use a Samsung phone with "edge" style screen at work few years back and that was awful to use. So many accidental touches and the curvature made the screen distorted. So I'd rather take bezels than anything like that.
  
  Also I have smol hands so I'd prefer if Samsung Galaxy S2 dimensions would make comeback. I loved that phone so much. It even had a proper AMOLED screen with RGB pattern rather than the shit modern OLEDs do.

  @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @thatbrickster@shitposter.world I don't understand the push for less thickness at all.
  
  Thickness does not affect the portability of the phone that much at all.
  
  You know what decides if a phone can fit in your pocket? It's DIAMETER.
  
  Stop making phones with insane diameters. Phones should never exceed 5 inches in diameter. The thickness does not matter!

  @SuperDicq @thatbrickster on the thickness: why even make the bloody things so thin when you end up having to push things outside the phone like so many phones do with the cameras, I actually had to get a case on my Galaxy A34 just to get the bloody phone to sit flush on the table because of the stupid cameras that stick out. JUST MAKE THE PHONE THICK ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL THE INTERNALS INSIDE!
  
  on gaming: tbf, if you have a controller you can emulate some nice games on a phone, especially now that most phones can quite easily run Dolphin at full speed

  @Reiddragon@fedi.reimu.info @thatbrickster@shitposter.world Why would I wanna play GameCube games with a fucking touchscreen? Sounds like an awful experience. I will just want until I get home and play the real thing with an actual GameCube controller, which are very nice.
