I’m actually feeling guilty about considering a FP5 because my current phone works absolutely fine, had recent updates and I have a good spare battery ready to swap out on long days… so… I’ll probably stay with this one even though I want the new one
For how long did you had the FP3+?
How much did it costs?
I currently have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and bought it for 250€. Ofcourse I’m awear that it’s a Chinese phone but I bought it when I didn’t know any better. This year it will be 5 or 6 years old but still works for the daily needs and I like to use things till the break or aren’t really useable anymore.
So I’m curious how much yours had cost and for how long you used it. Also some other questions:
How much do you use the phone?
How long does one charged battery lasts?
If you don’t feel comfortable with sharing information don’t answer the question but I would be interested as I maybe want my next phone to be a Fairphone too.
I’m bought a secondhand-good as new FP3 thirteen months ago and have been using it since, first running DivestOS and now running /e/OS. It only cost me 100 €. I can squeeze almost two days of battery if I the only thing i do is check messages and e-mail with all non-essential services disabled. Otherwise, with regular usage scrolling Lemmy, browsing news websites, checking messages & e-mails and watching the occasional video my battery will last for around a day
Um, not sure. I wasn’t an early adopter, so 4+ years?
And… I think it was ~€400 + usual taxes and delivery, so, say €450 in total?
It’s basically in use everyday, although I don’t spend that much time on calls, but with (my own enabled) GPS trackers and sensors enabled for Home Automation and generally letting the family know where I am, I’ll easily get a day out of the battery…
If I’m travelling I’m using the phone a lot more so the spare battery would probably be needed (in a 18 hour work day)
I’ve also bought a replacement bottom module as the USB port has become a little loose from charging… not replaced it yet (to get the most out of it), but will do soon.
So, yeah, the best bits are:
instant battery replacement / recharging (it’s great walking past all the other phone users tethered to their wall chargers)
and longevity with replacment parts that I can change myself.
(And still getting updates)
Yeah, I have a FP3+…
