Linus reviewed (roasted) our phone | Fairphone reacts - eviltoast

I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    To me, the profile thickness is a benefit. Tiny thin phones scream “compressed electronics, overheats fast, difficult repairs”

      I think the main reason for a thin phone nowadays is to have it fit in your trouser pocket. (or lack thereof). Having a flip style folding phone (as opposed to a book style) really helps.

        I generally wear loose fitting pants and belt, but I can definitely see how it would conflict with tightpants fashions.
