I know 4 people directly, who use a FP 3 or 4 and they are just fine. Best thing are the long lasting security updates (7+ years) and of course repairability.
I totally agree. Everyone is talking about those flagship stats nobody uses. I want a phone that works and that as long as possible. I daily drive a FP4 (included myself in the 4 people) with CalyxOS and I love it.
I’ve been using my FP4 for over 3 years, and can’t really complain too much about it. the battery life started degrading quite significantly for me last year (I use my phone a lot), so I just ordered a new one and replaced it in under a minute.
I’m sad this has to be mentioned to be sure, but for anyone reading this who may not know the concepts behind Fairphone: Yes, that is ordering a new battery, not having to order a new phone. Just wanting to make sure no one accidentally misunderstands, from being used to the status quo of phones being non-serviceable by the consumer.
My gf has a Fairphone 4 and it’s decent. She isn’t a power user so it works fine for her though as a techy person I find it kinda slow. Of course there is the 5 now and potentially the 6 later this year which will be faster.
Feels solid in the hand and the cameras are much better than I thought they would be
Fairphone. I’ve yet to try one myself, but I’ve seen a lot of good reviews
such a let down they axed off the headphone jack

I used a FP3 until recently, now a FP5. Very happy with it. Repairability is a very real thing in these phones, not just a gimmick. :)

I have a FP4 and like it well enough. It’s not without flaws though.
