This phone is... moreThe Fairphone 5 may not use the latest chipset, but any upgrades in modern chipsets is unlikely to have a huge overall impact like it used to. Longer loading times and stutters may become more prominent in 10 years, but often it is the software that are designed around planned obsolescense, not that the hardware cannot keep up.

        The chipset was chosen in this case as it receives longer life-support in terms of hardware and security updates by Qualcomm, which makes it easier for Fairphone to support the phone for many years to come. I'm sure if the latest chipset was designed with the same sustainable mindset, they would have chosen that instead. But yeah, it is indeed a trade-off for high-spec enthusiasts.

                  justasmile, 10 Apr 2024That chipset ain't gonna last the same length.Last in terms of what? Durability? speed? Everyone have different use cases. My Poco F1 from 2018(almost 7 years old) is still perfectly usable to this day. I just needed a battery replacement for it last year. As long as you temper expectations at that point, then you shouldn't worry too much.

                        I don't need the highest end specs or anything, but the 8 year of support is incredible. user replaceable parts is also a huge plus. I'll buy one eventually but I'll wait for a price drop first lol

                              Anonymous, 31 Mar 2024Great phone good performance Very nice software support To be honest I never had a phone with better software support than the Fairphone with timely security patches to make sure your phone is up to date. Mine is till in pristine condition and I don't use a case.
