Is the fairphone really worth it? (feddit.it)

The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

Bruh so sorry if for me a purchase of 600 euros is just too much, i don't work and i don't expect to receive money from anybody right now, so i guess if you are the one who wants to give me the opportunity of not putting kids to build my next phone then now's your big chance

Why are you complaining about the price of a smartphone when you don't even have an income?

Oh what, i can't? If i had an income i could magically have the right to rant about it? Even without income, every now and then i manage to make substantial purchases, but we're talking about 600€ then it's just too much for me to handle

You can complain about whatever you want, I just don't understand the logic behind this particular complaint. According to you, not only do you not have an income but you don't work at all. The problem here is quite clearly your situation in life and not the price of the phone. Complaining about the price of luxury items is just completely asinine when you have no reliable source of income and are doing nothing to change that.

Just ignore the downvotes, people are garbage and that doubles online!

Yes indeed, reddit taught me this already
