A new smartphone again? Rethink unhealthy culture of frequent upgrades

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The fairphone and terracube are starting to take off. Being able to replace hardware was a staple in early cell phone design and hopefully will come back.
I would consider these if they weren’t still using Android. Anything with Google involved is unacceptable to me.
Fairphone allows you to unlock the bootloader and install an OS of your choice.

Fairphone is also pretty expensive to standards in my country as well. Although, a great concept.
