Linus reviewed (roasted) our phone | Fairphone reacts
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. 🤭

Fuck Lingus. Who cares what he thinks about anything?

12 yo's, probably.
A lot of men who think they are techies because they game or something but really aren't.
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.
It is a little annoying to have to reboot the phone to switch micro SD cards
It's quite annoying for me, (when i had an sd card slot) i pulled my card and moved files back and forth a lot because androids "file server" is ass at transferring more than a couple things. WiFi transferring is okay but i don't like having to constantly map files to an ftp or smb so i can access them quickly, i know I'm in the minority on this but really accessible hot swap storage is super important to me. Most of my drives are removable in my main computer so i can toss them in my bag with my laptop and take what i need with me. My v20 had 2 sd cards tucked into it's case so i could swap between a (retro)rom library, music library, or run system backups to the 3rd.
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.
