It's selling eight times faster than the Nothing Phone (2a). Nothing unveiled the CMF Phone 1 this past Monday, and the phone went on sale earlier today....
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.
pc watercooling blocks are mostly just orings sandwiched in grooved plates and screwed together. leaks are usually elsewhere. hardest part would probably be accomodating ports. we could even be totally cursed and make it wireless charging and bt audio only and fully seal it and have no speakers.
If people are buying this instead of other repair-oriented brands like Fairphone, then they’re not concerned about repairability but price.

Waterproof and repairability are really at odds.
They really aren’t: it’s just going to add a little thickness, weight, and cost to the phone. Screws and gaskets aren’t exactly rocket science.

Yeah,but it’s possible - maybe not everything,but for a lot of components it is possible.
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.
They could be concerned about both.
