Comment on Valves iFixit partnership is a game changer
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 9 months agoCan you recommend a model? I’ve seen in the past that some of their models didn’t really match their contemporaries in terms of power, so I didn’t really bother looking at them more in depth. However, my views and priorities have changed over the last couple years and getting a Fairphone would definitely be something worthwhile to consider once I must upgrade my phone.

Well that is indeed the trade off. The IoT chipset does get long support, but it is not up on par with specialized phone chipsets. If you are looking for a powerful phone with a snappy experience, my impression is, the fairphone would probably not life up to that. It is a phone for people looking for repairability as the main feature.

Well, my standards are pretty low. I’m currently using a Huawei P30 lite and have been using quite contently for the past 4 years or so. I imagine current Fairphones to be at least as good, right? Since the P30 Lite is a few years old by now.
But I totally get what you mean, for sure! I’m not a snob when it comes to high-end specs, so I’d probably be fine with a lower-power phone. Evident from my current phone lol
