Thoughts on fairphone 6? (sopuli.xyz)

Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That's actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What's everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

I use a Pixel 7 Pro which has something audibly loose inside.

Pixel 8 user here. My phone also makes noises as if something is loose when I shake it. But I searched for what could cause that and the answer seems to be that the camera shutter is moving inside, which is not a problem. Maybe it is a similar situation with your phone.

Damn you! Just shook my 8 Pro. Something rattling in there too. I never noticed it before!

So it likely is by design(?) I have my phone since release and just noticed it a few months ago.

My pixel 7 pro had the same, I thought it was because of the optical camera stabilisation
