    Lately I’ve been playing Need For Speed Underground 2 on the AetherSX2 emulator. A Fairphone absolutely cannot do that.

    Look bud, I’m not trying to attack Fairphone, you don’t need to be defensive. I’m just setting expectations that this is not a phone for people that need a high performance processor. The chipset is low-end, objectively. I’m sure it’s fine for people who don’t care about that stuff.

    Seriously. What mobile games are worth time or money? Aren’t they all just pay to win now?

      I can emulate PS2 and GameCube games on my S23. It’s pretty great. My S21 struggled with that, so any Fairphone would definitely not be able to do that, as it has significantly less processing power.

  If that’s the sum total of your reasons for needing a more expensive, less free, less repairable phone, then I have nothing left except to laugh at you.

    No, I just don’t have the time to explain the hundred obvious ways that a fast processor might benefit somebody, so I chose a single, INCREDIBLY obvious item near the top of the list for most people, and was hoping that I wouldn’t get follow-up idiotic responses like this. But alas!

      I used an 11 year old phone for about 6 months while I waited to get a new phone. I never had any problems with processor speeds despite having about 60% the processing power of a then-current phone.

      I think people vastly overestimate the need for a bigger better processor.

        I never said that everybody needed a fast phone, or even that MOST people need a fast phone. I would agree that most people don’t. I was replying to somebody that said their old phone was slow, and informing them that the Fairphone is probably not a solution to that specific issue because of its budget processor. It’s not a performance phone; it’s an ethical phone that does basic things perfectly fine.

        I don’t know who you’re arguing with, and I don’t think you do either.
