It's not every day that a Youtube legend like Linus Tech Tips roasts your phone. We just had to get our co-founder and product manager Miquel to watch the wh...

I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    Honestly it’s funny to watch WAN and see him melt down over obvious trolls in chat. Makes me feel a lot better about my own emotional stability.

      Don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Though I actually did finally listen to Linus’s review. Minus a few stupid things like “it’s too thick” or “I don’t like where the SIM slot is”, I think I mostly agree with him. It seem like the software at least has some major issues if he is to be believed.

        I actually agree with him on the thickness, especially since I’d put the phone in a case which would add even more girth. It makes it less pocketable, and more importantly less easy to handle. My thumb can’t easily reach all the way across the screen on my current, similarly sized and thinner phone already and the added few millimetres from the case do make it noticeably worse.

        It’s not the major thing that’s keeping me away from the Fairphone (I’m just not the target demographic), but certainly isn’t a point in it’s favour.
