Couldn't find another decent link in that wasn't written in Dutch, but you'll find it at the bottom of the story.

Besides the storage and RAM, nothing else has changed.

The idea that the phone was made purely in manufacturing processes where you could have a good conscience is ridiculous. Like any similar greenwashing strategy, it relies on indirection and fragmentation. You have no way to validate their claims other than some badges they bought from eco licensing companies.

The warranty is worth nothing. At the launch of the phone it was already crystal clear that no security updates would be released for the SoC of the phone after 2 years. So you get 3 more years of cute Android UI on a phone that's potentially insecure. They knew this when they designed and marketed the phone!

I have not yet replaced my battery, but I remember thinking this would be a win. This phone is a piece of shit. Why would I ever want to prolong this suffering?
