It's too damn big. I got a Fairphone 4 and got rid of it because I just couldn't properly use it (and because of the poor camera performance on top of that). Now they're releasing an even bigger phone? I may be the minority here, but that's a deal breaker for me. I'll need a new phone in the next few months, but right now I'm only considering the s23 or the Xperia 5 V, just because everything else is just too fucking huge.
Exactly. I'm now on 4 years old Samsung S10e, with replaced battery and display, because I can't see myself using ANY of the new phones. All of them are so giant and heavy, and I already feel like I'd like something smaller than my current one... I guess the Fairphone philosophy wins anyway, hehe.
Is the Asus Zenfone available in your region ? If yes, its a pretty compact and feature rich phone.
That wasn't on my radar, but the same point that kinda keeps me away from the Sony that I'd really like to like otherwise applies to the zenfone as well: really short update cycles. The zenfone even more so, as the Sony is just about to be released while the zenfone is already available for almost a year. I tend to keep my phones longer, so that really is a factor.
Zenfone 10 got released in july this year. I'd buy it on the spot if the software support was longer. The only phone in recent memory that has good specs and also looks decent
Ah, the 10 is already out... I checked the 9. So at least it'll be one more year of updates, but it still just is really not much for a device that's 850 β¬.
~~Asus just quit the phone market, closed their site and application, you can not ever unlock your bootloader anymore. Zenfone are dead.~~
looks false?
