The A55 comes in 8/128GB and 8/256GB versions, the A35 is available in 6/128GB and 8/256GB. Sometimes we let excitement get the better of us – and someone...
Seems they dropped the mediatek soc for their own exynos in the a3x series.
I just used once a year as an example. I’ve noticed after 1 year I no longer get 2 day battery life on my Xperia whereas for the first year I only charged it every second day. Now I charge every night.
If I had a Samsung I’d just go have it swapped out in 1 hour and be back to 2 day battery life.
If you ask most average people why they are getting a new phone it’s normally because the battery no longer lasts all day and they have to change up mid day. If they had a way to easily and quickly, and cheaply, have the battery replaced with waterproofing still in tact, many would do that and not have to get a whole new phone.
I can’t imagine using the battery for 5 years. After 2 years my V30 only gave me 2-3 hours of screen on time max. I AVOIDED using it just so I could make it through a work day in case I got a call. And no 3rd party repairer had Lg batteries…
A mobile phone without a dependable battery is a paperweight. What’s the point of having it if it always has to be plugged in to a charger???
Perhaps you should consider getting a fairphone if its available in your market. Having a user replaceable battery is much better than going back to the OEM.
Maybe your battery issues is due to li-ion chemistry used in Samsung/LG instead of li-polymer more commonly found in Chinese OEM.
Yes maybe. But honestly I don’t think one tiny company selling 500 phones year will make any difference to the environment. What’s needed is legislation to make all phone makers be eco friendly and allow easy parts replacement.
Definitely. It’s good that they exist and are an example to others for sure. They just shouldn’t expect lots of sales. Hopefully enough to keep them funded and pay wages.

No thanks. Poor design, rubbish cameras, rubbish CPU and overpriced. That’s Fairphone.
Any body who buys that must have a hole in the head. 😂
Or maybe they care about other things than numbers on a spec sheet and how many fps you get on the latest call of genshin duty

I totally agree, but them (Fairphone) existing is good in and of itself, too
