    Nothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    I don’t get it, what’s the point in having removable back, screws, screwdrivers if you cannot remove and replace the parts.

      This is exactly what I was thinking.

      I’ve been planning on getting a fairphone next, and didn’t know they had a competitor, and then after watching the review realized they didn’t have a competitor.

        Near field communication - it’s an antenna that sits inside the back case and let’s your phone interact with payment terminals and the like that support it.

        You can add your tap and pay card to your phone and tap your phone instead.

                Why the quotes? It is free. Except for the money that you transfer. That is deducted from the bank account, obviously.

                  Taxpayers still pay for it, but it is free at the point of sale or transaction.

                  It is great system tho as far as my understanding how it was done. In us, the rate is 3-4% on credit transaction which dominat payment system for point of sale. Shit is taxing.

    Does this phone have an SD card and headphone jack?

    If not then I’m not buying it.

        How does it being 2024 justify not having a headphone jack. Most other phones competing with the phone 1 do have a headphone jack fyi.

    features with a high degree of customizability - you can swap out the back cover, and also attach things like a lanyard.

    Ooooh, a lanyard strap… That’s the sort of right to repair we’ve all been after.

      It’s so silly. The back is removable with just a couple of standard screws. But the battery isn’t replaceable.

    I was kinda hoping a modular phone would have a headphone jack module of some sort.

    Non-removable battery and lanyard strap is enough I guess…

    If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they’re not concerned about repairability but price.

      Fairphone isn’t available in many parts of the world. CMF’s sales are boosted a lot by it’s presence in India where Fairphone is not an option.

      I’d love to buy a Fairphone. But sadly it is behind in so many features,that I simply can’t.

      -no water proof (sadly a requirement in my profession)

      -no wireless charging (why? just why? There is no good reason for them to not include that, especially as it is finally adopted by a lot of spaces, e.g. in airline seats,etc.)

      • mediocre camera

      I counted the days towards Fairphone releasing the featureset of the Fairphone 5 and was so disappointed.

      I am up for other recommendations, though.The first person to name google will be downvoted,though. I literally wrote my lawyer yesterday as they are treating service cases in a illegal manner.
