    For those considering getting this phone for sustainability reasons, just a reminder that the most sustainable option is to keep the phone you have until there’s something actually wrong with it

    Sustainable

    No headphone jack

    They actually seem like quality phones when my girlfriend’s friend got one, but seriously? No headphone Jack and force you to use wireless buds that will have to be thrown away when the tiny battery degrades?

      USB-c to headphone jack converters are an option. Not ideal because you can’t use it and charge the phone simultaneously, but certainly better than those wireless buds.

    I want to get one but unfortunately due to the nature of the phone, there is no resistance to water submersion which is a dealbreaker for me. I want my phones to be at least IP67 which I don’t think is possible while also being repairable.
