    I bought one a couple of years ago, still use it. It’s not that bad, just don’t expect any crazy fluff. It’s the compromise one makes for a sustainable future. Cheaper than most flagships.

      Cheaper than most flagships.

      Yea, because It’s not a flagship, it’s got a crap proc that even the Tensor 2 beats. The Tensor 2 proc that has been widely regarded as the worst processor.

      And 6 GB RAM on the base model? What‽ What year is this‽

      You have to really prioritize the Fairphone mission and accept all the compromises you have to make

        prioritize the Fairphone mission

        As if 10 years ago we didn’t do just fine with phones like the fairphone 4. It’s just ridiculous to me that you mock its processor like it’s not even a functional phone.

        You won’t be more content with your life by always reaching for more. It’s a capitalistic and consumer mindset. Bound to fail in due time.

        What good is a 124 GB RAM phone when the world is uninhabitable.

          To play games on in your artificial environment / while you go through traffic in a new more air filtery car.

        I don’t understand why people need so much processing power in a phone?

        If you really need mobile processing power and can tolerate a larger device, even a cheap, old, shitty, crusty, used laptop would likely offer a better experience.

      I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.

        How so? All parts are replacable with just a screwdriver. I do have to disclose I am replying to you on a FP5.

      It’s a low end smartphone with mid range price and awful security. What’s not to love?
