Fairphone
=========

I broke the  display of my Android  phone some time ago (I  have to use
the Andorid -  or an iOS - due  to some apps). I firs  searched for the
same phone  as it was a  Sony Xperia and  it was a rather  good device.
Surprisingly - prices are on the same  level as they were when I got my
Sony some years ago. The battery is not user-replaceable so I was a bit
unsure about that. Also the OS is old.

So I have  decided to got a  new device. But which one?  I finally have
decided to  get the  Fairphone 5.  They declare OS  support up  to 2031
which  sound good.  And  they phone  is somewhat  modular  so the  most
critical parts can de easily replace. Unfortunately, I have tested that
as I have  broke the display of my  new phone just 5 days  after I have
got it...

Otherwise,  it's a  nice machine.  Nothing special  but nice.  The only
thing I don't like  is a lack of the audio connector. So  I have had to
got a USB-C to audio adapter. I works well.

Battery life seems to  be shorter that it was on  the old Xperia (which
is smaller device with smaller screen) but good enough.


It looks  like I have updated  my stuff to pretty  moder devices during
last few years (with the Linux  everywhere if one counts the Android as
a Linux):

- Fairphone 5 (phone)
- MNT Pocket Reform (minilaptop)
- MNT Reform with RCORE CPU (laptop/desktop replacement)
- Raptor Blackibrid (OpenPOWER workstation)
