As long as it’s fast and the battery lasts the whole day, I’m happy

Still a snapdragon 750. I don’t mind paying a premium for this phone, but I definitely don’t want a hardware downgrade

I hope it's better than the fairphone 3. Poor performance on that completely undermines the whole "last phone you'll ever need".

I really wish one day they can reach framework level of industrial design. For a framework laptop, I would imagine it can last at least 5-8 years, all with great performance and upgradablity.

Phone on the other hand it very different. It is hard to upgrade SOC (which i believe is a OS limitation?). Although they have 5(probably 7 based on their record) years of system update, I really dont expect the phone to be usable after maybe 4 years.

At this point, I would probably go for a pixel with graphene and a case and screen protector. I really don't expect my phone to break that many times during 5 years, if it does, i will just grub thepart from ifixit and spend a afternoon to fix it. And grapheneos will provide 5 years of OS update with speedy security patch.

I'm conflicted because it doesn't have a headphone jack
