I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    I dunno I just heard it was slow for general usage.

    But I also wonder why there exists so many phones that target mobile gaming with external fans and all that.

    What games are people playing that require a special gaming phone? Switch emulation or something is the only thing I can think of.

    Last I checked all mobile games ran perfectly fine on everything. I don’t really understand non-casual mobile gaming. If I want to play good games I play on a switch, steam deck, or I just wait until I get home and I play in the way I find most comfortable, i.e. using a mouse and keyboard.

      Fairphone 4 is not slow for general usage, but for gaming it can be slow depending on the load, ye.
      Gamecube emulation would be slower than latest and greatest, but those soc’s only have 4 years of support, and thats not up to fairphone’s standards

      Just like any hardware, it all depends what you use it for and what your requirements are.
