Is the fairphone really worth it? (feddit.it)

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?

Another FP3 user here.

I wish the device had more RAM though.

I use lineageos with zram on mine. It works wonders

What is zram? It it a baked in feature of Lineage or is it an add on? I've got MicroG LOS on my FP3 and it runs well enough.

[–] nett_hier@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Zram basically compresses the ram. Afaik it's enabled by default in LOS.

Interesting, Fedora Linux uses zram too, is this a general thing on Android?
