You'd be surprised about the amount of people wanting this kind of smartphone. The success of Framework, who are doing something similar in the Laptop world, could be a robust indicator for the demand. Especially the replaceable battery is something we really should get back to IMHO.

The “success” of Framework? By what metric are you defining success?

They employ 45 people and demand for their products is outpacing supply. Assuming they're at least breaking even, that's success.

It's a success in this niche space. Just like there are niche smartphones providing all those features.

[dns_snek]

Could you please name these smartphones that run a modern version of Android, have modern hardware, and various niche features?
