Looks like a new model for the Fairphone has been announced! What do you think about it?

Personally I love the fairphone project but after having tried GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a it would be hard to move to a different OS

    If you are used to it, probably. I know that my pixel 4a is slowing down after 3 years. But I am just used to the speed, so it is okay for me.

      I don’t really feel that my 4a slowed down, but the battery is degraded for sure. Battery life was never amazing, but now it’s just bad. So this is why I am looking at the Fairphone: If I could just swap my battery easily, I would just continue using my 4a.

        The battery on my 4a is down to 66% capacity.

        It does feel slower with newer apps, as those need more power.

      Yes. This is more or less my view as well. it could be technically usable in 8 years, but very few people would accept this experience.

      And I do not think that a noticeable percentage of fearphones 5 will be in use in 7 years.
