Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM - Lemmy

Thoughts?

From what I heard many Fairphone 3s didn't even survive that long. Quality, audio quality and performance all seem to be pretty bad. That combined with its very high price point kinda defeats the point of it. The idea is great, but the execution isn't.

I’m using a FP4, and here the signs are reversed. The hardware is working so far, but the software is incredibly buggy and instable.

Add to it the very mediocre hardware (slow, outdated SoC, terrible camera, bad battery life) and it’s not a fun phone to use. Especially not at that price point.

terrible camera

Phone cameras quality does not really depend on hardware these days. It’s all software.

Get yourself a hacked Google Camera. Night and Day change.

I did and it is an improvement, but it can’t completely fix the bad camera.
