I swirched to fairphone almost exclusively because their phone has an easily swappable battery (it's very modular and easily repairable on top of that)
But if I'm not mistaken then there are new EU regulations coming that demand all batteries be replaceable, so hopefully this won't be an issue for much longer
The first thing I did with my Fairphone was to root it, and tweak the internal BMS/charge controller settings via a terminal. My ~4 year old device battery pretty much still runs like new, still get 2 days of standby.
From what I read on the FP forums though, users running stock tend to swap out their batteries every 1-2 years, like I had to on my old Galaxy S5. Most manufacturers' default battery charge profiles target the longest runtime, causing batteries to really degrade quickly.
For consumers that upgrade every 1-2y they won't notice this issue, but for those of us who want their phone to last longer than that, we notice this really quickly... in these cases having a swappable battery is a must
On the topic of modularity, I had my FP's vibration motor die on me, that was a very easy fix of literally opening up the device, swapping the module, and done. Absolutely love it!
You were able to limit the charge/discharge to stay within 20/80% or something like that? That's awesome, i should look into doing that myself
I have the Fairphone 5. Limiting the charge to 80% is actually a feature without rooting!
Damn, i thought i had the fairphone 5 as well, but it was "fairphone 4 5G" ๐
Time to throw away my ~1 year old phone to buy the newer model! /s
