    I’m waiting on the articles two years from now where google annunces that they’re not going to fulfil this promise because Reasons.

    I’m looking forward to the eventual teardown when we get to see how easy it is to swap the battery

    How does this compare to the Fairphone 5 and their promise of updates and parts? Trying to figure out what’s best for my money

          i was disapointed i wanted to get the 5 but it seems the chip they used is more for industrial use so it doesnt fair well in mobile devices when it comes to battery, i can live with crappy camera, but not a crappy battery life. guess ill have to wait for the 6

        Battery life doesn’t matter on the Fairphone 5 when you can swap the battery in seconds.

          im not carrying around extra batteries just so i can get through the day, battery life is a deal breaker for me, but not you obviously

        Dang that sucks. I’m already having battery issues with my S21 so I was hoping the Fairphone would be better

    That’s great, just hope they live up to the promise. I remember having a Note 3 with swappable batteries, but 3 years later all I could get was crappy 3rd party batteries.

    This is what I wanted to hear. My P4 battery is at 83%, but that’s a pretty noticeable difference from when I purchased the phone.

    I hope the P8 gets good reviews.
