> On the other hand, the Fairphone 5 is hardly a ball of fire when it comes to processor power. Though it comes with the fastest industrial chip (not a Snapdragon) made by Qualcomm, that puts it squarely in the mid-range rather than rubbing shoulders with more exotic devices.
I think performance might be what limits its actual useful life. I have had to replace phones more for being slow (since software is always eating up more and more performance) than for actual physical failures.
- jandrese 3y agoCPU speed isn't usually the thing that kills a phone, it's running out of memory. If they oversize (or allow upgrades of) the memory it could easily last that long.
- carstenhag 3y agoI think only my first Android (Samsung s3) had this bottleneck. The others were slow due to CPU or by being severely limited by the battery.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoMy Samsung s5 that I currently use is also severely crippled by its low RAM. I have replaced the battery (no tools needed!) otherwise that would be pretty bad too, as it had really degraded.
