    I didn’t see the video, but what were the categories? Anything the fair phone could win?

    My understanding is that the phone uses decently old tech.

        Thanks! Would it legitimately qualify for any of these awards?

        Maybe most improved?

          Probably MVP, but it’s a US awards show. It won’t include EU exclusive phones obviously.

          Maybe design award, he talks about how everything is the same but was impressed with the Magic V2 because of it’s thinness and how it manages to cram a larger battery than other foldables. While that’s impressive, I don’t really think it’s groundbreaking. I feel repairability should also be a consideration for design since most slabs and foldables look identical to each other and the Fairphone is miles ahead of everything else in that regard.

          Don’t think so. MKBHD doesn’t really test repairability so that’s probably why it isn’t a category.
