While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

    The FP5 still have some strange overheating issue. Some day I go from 90% et 10% in 2 hours, sometime it takes 2 day, without any changes in my usages. A reboot fixes it for a time, but I have to do it every 2-3 days…

        In the battery settings, there is often almost no app. Like 2-3 apps with more than 1% usage. To me it looks like it is the OS itself that uses all the resources. Unfortunately system monitor apps don’t work anymore on modern Android phones…

      While I didn’t have that issue, switching my fp4 to e/OS did give me roughly 50% more time on the battery. There are software trade offs though so if you just want the OEM experience then I guess it’ll be a case of waiting for an update.
