Been using an iPhone for the last few years and the battery is getting pretty bad. Few people I know have the FP4 and are happy with it so I’ve considered buying the new 5. Here on Reddit I see a few complaining about bugs, problems, etc. that are occurring.

So what I’m trying to ask is, how bad are issuers occurring and how many users are reporting these issues? Is it worth buying a FP5 or should I rather get another phone like a google pixel?

    I have no complaints. But, be sure you know what you’re buying. It’s a modular phone with a focus on longevity and as ethical a supply chain as they can affect.

    The trade-off is that you’re paying as much as you would for a better-spec phone. So, as long as you go in eyes wide open on that then I think you’ll be happy enough with the choice.

      The Android version is pretty much the basic version that Google issue to all phone manufacturers. Most vendors at a load of polish to it: FP had none of that polish.

      The change from IPhone to FP5 is likely to be quite jarring initially.

      I moved from an old one plus and it has taken me a while to adjust to how basic it is in comparison
