@riodoro1 @NightOwl I dunno, if you compare capacities of say, iPhone 14 Pro (12.38Wh) to Fairphone 4 (15.03Wh) and then the product dimensions of the two. There's not a huge amount in it. Adding the 14 Pro Max (16.68Wh) for additional comparisons.
The Fairphone is 2.6mm thicker than the iPhones. (Yes the screen bezels are chonk too lol) But the fairphone is also making allowance to make every single component swappable, and has an IPS display (switching to OLED would save 1+ millimeter)
@MrCenny the mate 20 life's processor just hasn't held up particularly well, my smol huawei tablet has a similar setup and modern apps just make it choke. It can do one thing at a time okay, but multi tasking is a no go.
@MargotRobbie honestly doesn't surprise me, it just seems unhelpful, you'd think for all the inspiration most android manufacturers take from apple, they'd copy the lineup density. But nope.
@MargotRobbie Used to be decent value, but they've made a mess of it with far too many very similar models with pointless specs like 2-5mp macro lenses and such, also their update policy is abysmal, my motorola G4 play got left to rot lol. Not the only manufacturer guilty of this of course.
I also think they should bring Ready For to as many devices in their lineup as they can. It's an interesting differentiator.

The one thing I find annoying is our compact phone options (Sony & Asus) both refuse to support their devices for more than a couple years of android OS updates. (I don't expect to see Android 14 on the sony mk3 series, and asus likely won't support the Zenfone 9 past android 15.
and aside from that we just have the meme that is Unihertz.
