People don’t upgrade phones every year anymore—longevity matters.

I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

My next phone will be a Fairphone 6, even though they’re not officially sold here in Brazil.

And when that one breaks… Maybe no phone at all.

Thats the cheap option. You can of course fly yourself to germany or netherlands and but it your self or even use a forwarding service.

When that one breaks there’s a good chance you can replace just the broken part.
