It's not clear to me how many of the components are swappable in this version. That was a big selling point of the Fairphone to begin with.

The technical descriptions are clearly lacking, up to the point where this product page almost makes me angry... the dimensions seem to be "156.5mm x 73.3mm" with "9,6 mm" thickness, but just right below in the isometric view it says 162mm x 75.5mm x 10.5mmm. I would be really interested in this product as replacement for the iPhone SE, but how can they screw up something so simple?

Anything above 72mm is too big to use it comfortable by one hand or put it in pocket.

I wish there is compact android phone with open bootloadet option.

Sizes of modern phones are interesting. Manufactures doesn't mind making phones into small tablet devices, but make them a bit thinker... That's crazy talk.

Because bigger screens are more catchy and give you more space to show ads.

But with a thicker phone you can fit a bigger battery and watch ads for longer.
