You wait till it starts. Then you turn the screen off, since you need to wait for SIM card to reboot too.<br>4. You take the phone. It turns out it turned itself off.<br>5. You start it again. Wait for PIN input. Input PIN.<br>6. You wait for it to boot. Turn the screen off.<br>7. You take the phone again. Turns out SIM card didn't reboot yet.<br>8. You wait some more.

Lizzie Rose 🥀<p>Got a good deal on a Pixel 4a 5G and decided to pick it up for my new phone.

As for the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fairphone" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fairphone</a> 5 itself:</p><ul><li>Touch screen is high-def, <strong>very responsive,</strong> and much, much easier to use with screen keyboards than my older smartphone. I can see myself actually writing code on this, something I have never even considered trying to do on a touch screen before.</li><li>Build quality is much, much nicer than it looks in pictures, to me it <em>feels</em> as nice as an iPhone.</li><li>It is a bit heavy, but not much worse than my previous phone, and has a larger screen.</li><li>Fairly easy to <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/degoogle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> — I just decline all prompts for Google log-ins, and install <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/fdroid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FDroid</a> apps to replace the default Google apps.</li><li>Boot loader can be unlocked, and I will probably install <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/lineageos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LineageOS</a> , but the default Android 13 install is already quite good, and I might try updating to Android 14 first.</li><li>Linus Tech Tips was not lying about the notification settings being too damn loud.</li></ul><p>After using my old phone for 8 years, I am surprised how fast this phone is now. Everything about it just works better. I suppose this would have been true for just about any phone I could buy, but I can’t see myself wanting for better tech specs. I really hope this one lasts me 10 years or more, I bought it specifically because it is the most repairable phone I was able to find anywhere.</p><p>First impression after using it for a day: I could not be more pleased, it has exceeded all of my expectations, 10/10 would recommend.</p>
