You invested in the Framework Laptop, you should try the Fairfone 5

I agree with this. As being a Tech Reviewer as well as someone who i would hope is all for Right to Repair, I think you should go with the Fairphone 5 simply because i feel it would line up with your lifestyle well.

[TrigGib]

I think the fairphone 5 fits all his requirements, and I think this would be an amazing platform to give them some exposure

Knowing him he’d probably destroy it in the first hour of using it

Pixel 8 Pro launches tomorrow (October 4th). Pixel pro has a big screen while the standard model is slightly smaller, and all new pixels have good cameras, are pretty repairable with the Ifixit partnership and if rumours are to be believed, 7 years of security updates with these new models.

[Zaynik]

You should go with Zfold 5 or s23 ultra or maybe even Sony Xperia markv. These are quite decent options

Qin F22 pro?

I've used Samsung phones for majority of my phone carrying life, until my Samsung Galaxy A70 apparently couldn't be repaired because of a design flaw, fairly certain it worked just as it was designed and be unrepairable after 4 years, and I'm not going to reward Samsung for that, so now I have Google pixel 6 pro and I've enjoyed it. and since you like folding phones, and money is no opsticle, maybe the Google Pixel Fold, Google's plain Android has been great.

I'm always amazed at how crappy people are at not dropping or maintaining their phones. it just reeks of big altima energy

[KTheXIII]

Get him the latest iPhone Pro. I want to see the man turn to the dark side.

[ToboRobot]

Two phones.  One iOS and one android.  

Separate personal and business.  Or separate life, from secure and private devices and contact information.

 

An example would be to get another android phone, but add an iPhone (and perhaps Apple laptop for the continuity stuff) for secure work etc.

Why choose when you can double the content?

Get the Fairphone 5.

Looks like Linus’s Lambo from Walmart 

[penguino]

Guys the Fairphone is not available in North America.

 

My vote goes for the Pixel 8 Pro.

The Nothing Phone (2) would be a great option

I agree

[Livio]

The Nothing Phone (2) is as well also a good option 

1. Its available in North America

2. Has a 120Hz display with OLED, HDR 10+ Support

3. Latest Android 13

[mr jeez]

xiaomi mi 13 ultra or samsung s23 ultra
or if you want durability you should try Doogee s98pro
it is durable

[Pawel2282]

I think Xperias are awesome.

Maybe Xperia PRO 1 if he is a professional.

[ahnaf_hasin_06]

Fairphone is an excellent phone because:

1. It cares for people and planet by using fair and recycled materials, improving working conditions, and reducing CO2 emissions.
2. It is built to last with a long hardware and software warranty, modular parts, and easy access to support.
3. It gives you a choice of operating systems, including /e/OS, a privacy-friendly and de-googled syste.
4. It lets you recycle your old phone and reduce the waste.

 

[Harriegamer2400]

The same i use. The Samsung A13 128GB is an perfect opinion

[Kvirusp]

Fold 5 or Google pixel fold, leaning twords the latter.

I was sold on the fold 3 back when you got it and made the first update about daily driving it. Had pretty much the same issues with it, with the screen protector and microfractures on the inside screen. Now I'm thinking it's time for a change but can't decide between fold5, pixel fold and w8ing for second gen pixel fold.
