Comment on Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech to a more sustainable alternative

  From my research, the phone part of the “phone” doesn’t work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.

    I have one. It has no issues with calling, video, ect…

    It works in the states as well. And all apps too. I guess my only complaint is parts are getting hard to come by for fairphone 4. Which is why i bought the phone, to be repairable.

    Where did you get that from? I have been using one for the past 6 months without any calling issues.

      It was a common complaint I can’t across when researching a few different Linux devices.

      I guess if you’re not probably having issues I must be wrong, because everyone’s experiences should mirror yours, exactly.

    That’s the main thing you’re buying it for…

      Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.

        Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.

        Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.

        I’m with you - I’d pay extra for a phone that doesn’t take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.

  It also isn’t as performant for the price, or so I’ve heard. They’re working on it, but it isn’t up to par with big name companies.

    What does that mean to you? I hear people say this all the time but I haven’t come across anything my phone couldn’t run in over a decade. I haven’t had a flagship or top tier phone in that whole time either. Are you talking about actual functionality issues or just theoretical stuff and benchmarks?
