@rachaelspooky Even if I were to carve out enough funds to replace my phone, every phone *sucks* these days.

It's not like my required features are unreasonable. I want a phone with a large enough developer community that I don't have to rely on the manufacturer for updates. I want a user-replaceable battery, wireless charging, and for the majority of the phone to be held together with screws rather than glue.

Apparently I can only have two of those four requirements.

@rachaelspooky Oh, and for the record, no, my current phone doesn't have any of these features. Why would I want to spend money on something that isn't an improvement?

@StarkRG @rachaelspooky I feel like the Fairphone 5 meet those requirements.

It has some drawbacks, but it does what you're asking.

@Arcaik @rachaelspooky It doesn't have wireless charging, unfortunately. It's also a pain in the arse to import phones to Australia, but the Fairphone 5 is, indeed, the phone I've been considering as a replacement.
