It’s a bit more than that, it’s a symptom of rampant misinformation, a distrust in political leadership, a lack of empathy towards others, increasing wealth inequality, etc.

I’m not sure, it’s my first Fairphone - time will tell. It’s guaranteed to get 7 years of updates if I’m not mistaken. I think for my use cases it will be sufficient, I don’t play games on mobile for example.

It’s a good mid-range phone - nice display, sturdy build - but a little bit thicker than most phones, which is probably due to repairability. Camera is ok, but not remarkable. Battery life is perfectly fine too, I’m charging it to 80% and it lasts me two days.

Overall really nothing fancy, but at the same time I don’t feel like I’m making any big compromises considering the focus on sustainability. Software has improved a lot, still needs a bit more work - but the most glaring issue, which was stuttering/low framerate after unlocking for a good minute is gone.

I was pretty annoyed that none of the reviews mentioned software issues, at all. Don’t get me wrong, I like the phone - but at launch it had many software problems - made me wonder if reviewers are even using the devices they’re testing for more than an hour. Fortunately with the latest patch it’s in a decent state now.
