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?
WiFi sucks to be honest, my old s20fe had 0 problems at my home, while my fp5 struggles in 3 rooms… other devices has no probs either ,( cam, fire tv stick, galaxy s4 Tablet)
This reads like a dog whistle shit post on Fairphone tbh.
“Should I exercise regularly and eat healthy” or “should I drink beer all day and eat pizza”?
Bro, if you like beer and pizza go for it. Don’t ask the health nuts if it’s OK.
Had fairphone 5 since release, bug free so far
The accessibility shortcut keeps reverting to disabled state, but from what I have read it’s mire an android issue than FP5 specifically. Other than that, I have had no issues.
I’ve had an FP5 (Murena - /e/OS) for about 3 weeks now. The only issue I’ve encountered was a sudden switch-off where it could only be restarted by putting the battery out and back in again. Other than that, it works very well, but then I don’t do that much with it.
Haven’t had any bugs. Been using the FP5 since launch
Had mine a few weeks and everything has worked fine
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
I had an iPhone XR and got a FP5. The bugs, the low quality and very poor performance led me to send it back and use my 5 year old iPhone XR.
Many of my colleagues warned me about the bad quality but I had to learn it the “hard” way :/
But that is just my personal experience!
0 issues for me. Battery life seems a bit limited but not problematically so (I also cap charge at 80%)
Not bad at all, my FP5 has been rock solid
At the begining the bluetooth was a bit week, but that has since disappeared.
*bit weak
only people having issues. those without issues don’t go yelling on social media, they just move on with their lives. what you see on reddit are exceptions, not the norm
Hope you are ready for the iOS - Android switch, it’s quite brutal. But just fine if you find the motivation.
There were supposed to be bugs? 2 months in, can’t say I’ve seen any
