Piece of crap.

@Dg what an illuminating comment.  What in particular are you referring to?  I have a fairphone 3 which is five years old and still going strong.  Every other phone I've had, I've been lucky if they lasted three (including my S6 and S9).

Dogshit phone with features available in earlier versions removed (for example usb c display)

[A56 is half the price]

Ignoring everything else: A SoC with the same cores (4x A720 and 4x A520) can be also get in a Galaxy A56 for approx half the price.

Economy of scale is a b*tch.

But if something breaks it will cost a lot more to repair and when the battery goes you'll probably have to junk that A56 and buy a second one.  The main sell points of a fairphone are the ease of repairs, durability and sustainability.

I do agree the USB 2 port was a backwards step but given they reduced the cost from the Fairphone 5 to the Fairphone 6, they cut what ever corners they could.
