Yes as a long time PC gamer, I don’t understand why people act as if steam and valve are gods. Like ok cool it has the most games and whatever, but they’ve been going downhill. There’s so many random asset flips and porn games now, and their sales have been shit for years now. I remember games going on sale for 90% off during seasonal sales, and all the % off coupons they’d just randomly give out. That never happens now.

Man and I just bought a new phone like 2 months ago… I would have much preferred this for the longevity

Only advantage I can think of is the faster soc and more ram on the more expensive models.

Fairphone 5 uses the Qualcomm QCM6490 (equivalent spec to a snapdragon 778g, which is in the nothing phone 1) and has 8gb of ram. Nothing Phone 2 has snapdragon 8+ gen 1 and 12gb of ram on the $699 model, 8gb of ram on the base model that costs $599. Fairphone 5 also has a micro SD card slot coupled with the 256gb of storage, while the nothing phone 2 doesn’t have any microsd card slot and starts with 128gb of storage on the base model.

The fairphone 5 is more expensive, but you’re paying for the ability to actually repair it and 8 years of support.

I already have a nothing phone 2 and I’m outside the return period, but if I didn’t and had the choice between the two today, ngl I’d pay the extra for the more sustainable fairphone 5. Yes it costs more, but it’d pay off in the long-run with repairability and long-term support.

Cut the price down to $249 and maybe I’ll bite.

You shouldn’t be using your phone while it’s charging. It’s bad for battery health.

So about that…

Same. Google’s design has taken a step backwards since the pixel 5. Worse battery life, less ergonomic due to fingerprint sensor being in the screen vs the back, and their custom socs have very poor efficiency.

Unfortunately most phones are doing the in screen fingerprint thing now since it’s the cool thing to do.
