Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

    How is the camera? The biggest thing locking me into Samsung is that every cheaper phone I’ve tried even cheaper fucking Samsungs, the camera is just pure ass slow sluggish, crashing.

      FP4 camera is nothing to write home about. FP5 and FP6 are better, but still mostly mediocre quality.

      I’m using a Ulefone armour 4 (I think), coming from a Samsung Note 10+ and I have found the camera to be a big downgrade. However, I have found that alternative camera apps can make a surprisingly large difference. The stock camera app was bad enough that it often didn’t feel worth it to even try taking a photo. I’m currently using OpenCamera from fdroid, and performance is far better now (though the quality is still a downgrade from before).

      It’s annoying because I don’t care about fancy features and high end cameras, I just want something that will allow me to capture spontaneous photos
