I bought an HMD Pulse Pro which is also made to be repairable. They have a partnership with ifixit.

The issue with that phone (and seemingly everything coming from HMD) is that it only gets 2 major OS upgrades. Also, it launches a major version behind, so it is actually only a single upgrade.

I am quite upset about it. I had a Nokia 6 (made by HMD) and loved the well made, durable hardware and very clean no-bloat software. I have been saddened to see that while most phone brands have been extending their OS support window, HMD has been shortening it.

Yeah, it's definitely not ideal but £110 brand new made me get over it :D

Hopefully they continue the repairability and do something better with the OS in the future.

I 100% agree with the fact that there needs to be more phones you can easily fix but every time I see a headline like "I need a phone I can fix" I can't help but think that y'all are incredibly clumsy and keep breaking your phones far too often 😅
