While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I would buy one in a heartbeat if it was smaller.... My S22 barely fits in my pants pocket, and barely usable with one hand.

Still waiting for compact phones to return...RIP sony xperia

Same. I got a fairphone 4 after my beloved one plus X which was the perfect size... I just dont use a big part of my screen

The OnePlus X is such a beautiful phone. Sadly there's no ROM left that's being maintained.

Ye, latest rom i found back then was a lineageos rom that was android 11, june 2022 release iirc ( or 2021? ). It was awesome and worked great. Alas, after 8 years it is now my spare phone incase of issues :)

S10e forever.

People just don't seem to buy compact phones. The IPhone mini was a flop.

My daughter really loves my old S10e. Apart from the dwindling battery life, it's still an awesome phone, capable of taking beautiful photos.

Yeah it's a shame the processor also wasn't that power efficient yet. The new Snapdragon Gen2 would bring insane battery life to small phones.

I laughed when I saw the size of it. It's the same size as the S23 ultra...

I have an S21 Ultra, so the size doesn't bother me too much. But the Fair phone is objectively a worse device on every level. I want something S23 nonplus non ultra sized if I'm going for an average long lasting daily phone.

The Zenfone line is your best bet for a compact phone today. I switched from the LG V60 to the Zenfone 10 when it came out and it's no contest. I loved my V60 but its laughably massive to me now

RIP sony xperia? I just got a Sony Xperia 5 V and it's a great phone. Maybe a bit tall but the width makes it very comfortable to use with one hand.
