the Fairphone (Gen 6) is the only handset that really goes the distance.

And the 5, and the 4, and the 3... you can buy the other ones, writer.

Have you had any of the older Fairphones for longer? How was the experience overall?

[โ€“] Sirius006@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I had the 2 and I am now with the FP4. Talking about the 2 is irrelevant now. The 4 is okay, but I had problems with ghost inputs that are annoying. It's a common problem, they acknowledged it and sent me a new screen for free. Took 15 minutes to replace it without any difficulties. The problem is still there but it became rare so it's Ok. I also got a new battery (the phone is about 3yo). It's cool to have a phone that can last up to 2days again at this age. I'm on Murena OS which is ok too

~~It's an advertisement. Obviously they are going to hype their latest model as the best thing to happen since the invention of sliced bread.~~

That said,.. I do want one so badly

Edit: I see you were referring to the Tech Advisor coverage
