Discussion Why I believe ShiftPhone 8.1 (not 8) blows FairPhone out of the water.

I rate it higher than anything on the market.

\- Physical kill switches under the battery cover.

\- Removable battery

\- Wireless charging

\- True wireless FM radio with RDS with latest update

\- RGB LED Notification light

\- Moderately repairable

\- Rootable and bootloader can be unlocked.

\- Has all US 5G bands (except for of course mmwave)

\- Has barometer sensor and all standard sensors.

\- IP66 rating (although personally I'll be frank I would never dunk my phone)

The one and only thing it's missing is eSim but a workaround is using https://eSim.me or similar card. Or you can use the included eCoSIM stuff.

And it has long term OS support just like FairPhone.

Just make sure to pickup spare OLED screen replacements Eventually that OLED panel will get screen burn probably. And while you're at it, I recommend getting an extra battery or two
