    It doesn’t need to compete with current gen flagships, these are just overkill anyway even for me as a heavy user also using it for my work etc. What they do need is “good enough” performance (i.e. 2/3 years old flagship performance) and a decent camera, that’s I think what was lacking that actually impacts users.

      This is basically Google’s approach now. I’m a little disappointed that my Pixel 7 from 2022 underperforms the 2019 flagship it replaced, but it’s a compromise I’m willing to make for timely security updates.

      Sounds like the Fairphone 5 might be in a similar performance tier.
