Fairphone’s new cables and chargers are both faster and tougher
If a repairable phone is an investment too far, these accessories are a cheaper way to support Fairphone’s mission.

I'd be so interested, but the processor... eh.
It’s harder for smaller companies to acquire amazing processors since Apple buys up production space at the factories since Apple makes 391b in revenue to compared to Fairphone’s measly 55m.
Companies have to be built up before they can competitively match in the hardware department with the big players. Fairphone excels in the ethics and repair departments.
I know, and that's why I wanted to try them, but I was so incredibly annoyed by my last phone (not Fairphone) that I'm hesitant.
What are your use cases for the phone? I have the latest Fairphone and could help you out with some info
To be fair, I couldn't really say what my main issues were. It just lagged often and without a perceivable reason. It drove me mad.
Yeah, random lagging issues are bad. I used to have an older Sony Xperia, that one lagged for about 5-10 minutes every time you connected it to a charger. The poor lad had only 3GB of RAM.
The Fairphone isn't perfect either, there have been some crashes and some UI glitches. The crashes happened less than once a month, but recently it seems like they have fixed the issue. UI glitches haven't been anything major, usually something like notification popups layering on top of each other or apps being active while in the application overview menu. They go away once you lock your screen and unlock it again.
