    While the idea of exposing the phone’s internals as a design motif is an interesting one, to be practical you’d want to pair this with a translucent case.

    Soo… what’s so special about it? They talked about the company but the phone doesn’t seem like anything special.

    Design aside I still cannot fathom why people are so excited about Mediatek phone, I mean, while performance is not bad, the efficiency is shit on Mediatek SoCs

    BTW what is this site anyway? Does anyone have problems scrolling or is it just me?

    I’d like a pretty stripped down phone, and am intrigued by the concept of the Fair Phone. I looked at the Nothing Phone and the aesthetic is neat, but in the end it just seemed like different bells and whistles. It’s like if I didn’t want to wear fancy clothes, just simple working clothes. This looks like simple working clothes, but it’s actual streetwear from a boutique.

    Cars and devices: can we just get simple, repairable machines?

    EDIT: houses, too. I’d rather plain and quality than fancy shit.

      Houses are easier because standardization and regs (safety, really).

      It’s appliances that are getting all the BS, and I hope we’ll always be able to buy non-smart appliances.

        My parents recently got a new washer/dryer set; they had to buy commercial (though available to consumers) units to get non-smart units.

          Oh, I’m in the same boat. I was like, “$1000 for a ‘smart’ washer with shitty plastic parts or $2000 for a Speed Queen? I think if this washer breaks, I’m just going to buy the commercial washer.” They last forever.
