While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

    I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.

    I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.

      I never said that everybody needed a fast phone, or even that MOST people need a fast phone. I would agree that most people don’t. I was replying to somebody that said their old phone was slow, and informing them that the Fairphone is probably not a solution to that specific issue because of its budget processor. It’s not a performance phone; it’s an ethical phone that does basic things perfectly fine.

      I don’t know who you’re arguing with, and I don’t think you do either.
