    There are 2 Possibilities to this:

    Either every phone gets an F-, or they set the bar so low that the Fairphone is 6 ranks above S tier

      I wonder where something like Unihertz phones could be. Recently a teardown video of one of those surprised me, and it seems they do quite a few phones that way. They have a bunch of rugged phones, and at least some of them appear to be screwed together rather than glued.

      Honestly, I haven’t even considered that was a possibility nowadays. Otherwise I’d probably get one of those over Ulefone. Based on videos I’ve seen, my Armor 24 is virtually irrepairable. You have to enter through the screen which uses very strong glue and is recessed into the body. Disassembly thus basically requires destroying the screen.

        Unihertz never updates their phones. It’s amazing, fairly repairable hardware, but software support is terrible.

        It’s sad. They could let the community handle it, but they won’t.

          This. I was going to buy one on kickstarter, but their reply on planned updates wasn’t reassuring.
