I wish they were more similar to Framework except in the smartphone space. Because when I buy a Fairphone I’m still stuck with the specs I bought and when I want to have better specs I need to buy a new phone regardless of how repairable it is. WIth a Framework laptop I can upgrade the mainboard to one with better specs and can keep the rest.
It’s perfectly usable as a feature phone with a touchscreen, basically.
The best experience i’ve had is with SXMO which embraces this, and has you navigate using the physical buttons and menus instead of the touchscreen, primarily.
It’s not a great experience, but it totally works for calls and such, and of course has the very nice upside of literally just running normal linux.

This solves both of your problems and means you have to buy a third as many phones.
