Sure, if your use-case requires a lot of computational power it might be a bad fit, but as I also wrote in my post, my requirements are pretty light, in which case this phone is closer to perfect than any other I've come across


If your needs are that light, how do justify spending that much on a phone? Why not just get whatever shitty android is on sale for $free.50?


Giving Fairphone money has a much higher chance of turning the whole industry than supporting shitty companies. If it's shit you're probably going to buy another one next year anyway, and in the end spend a similar amount over 10 years


- Price wise it's still competitive if looking at the cost per year

- I don't want to spend time and energy having to figure out which phone I should replace it with when the shitty phone dies after 12 months

- I care about the working conditions for the people actually assembling my phone

- I care about the impact my consumption has on the environment
