The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

So

  • 22% more screen
  • twice the pixels
  • the same number of cores, though undoubtedly faster
  • four times the ram
  • 2 to 32 times the storage

Not that impressive for ten years of development to be honest. In addition to that there are limits to what is required for everyday usage. Not to make a "640k should be enough for everybody", but browser and messaging only requires a few GB of RAM and will do so for the foreseeable future. 8GB is future proof enough for the vast majority of use cases.

I have 2TB of storage in my PC. The actually important part (documents and programs) take up minuscule amounts of space. The remainder is for AI models, movies and games, all of which I could delete and download again.
