Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore
Yeah, i'd love a Fairphone but it's 5 times the price of the HMD and I just don't care that much for processing power or the camera. I just use my phone for messaging, playing music, banking and sudoku.
I bought the Pulse for £110 new.
Yeah but HDM only offers 2 years of OS upgrades according to their own specs page. Fairphone offers 8 years. They have to get the software as well as the hardware.
Yeah, there's no doubt the Fairphone is a better phone. There's definitely issues with the HMD. I don't think the Fairphone is 5 times better though.
