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?

If that’s the sum total of your reasons for needing a more expensive, less free, less repairable phone, then I have nothing left except to laugh at you.
No, I just don’t have the time to explain the hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody, so I chose a single, INCREDIBLY obvious item near the top of the list for most people, and was hoping that I wouldn’t get follow-up idiotic responses like this. But alas!
I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.
I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.
I never said that everybody needed a fast phone, or even that MOST people need a fast phone. I would agree that most people don’t. I was replying to somebody that said their old phone was slow, and informing them that the Fairphone is probably not a solution to that specific issue because of its budget processor. It’s not a performance phone; it’s an ethical phone that does basic things perfectly fine.
I don’t know who you’re arguing with, and I don’t think you do either.
I’m arguing with you, genius, because I think you’re wrong.
There are not a “hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody”, as you stated. There aren’t really any good reasons. Games are a stupid reason. Everything necessary works fine with an older processor. It’s not the 2000s anymore where software bogs down any computer older than three years.
Now, the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum, What might be right for you, may not be right for some. -different strokes
