I'm currently in the market for a new phone, but not sure if i want a fairphone 5 or a pixel 8
I want a
microSD slot
headphone jack
customROM support (for de-googling/and root)
decent picture quality
I like performance but it doesn't have to be the very very latest
the device should be case-friendly
should not exceed rougly 165x75mm
with fairphone it seems i have to pay out the nose, but get less picture quality, less custom rom support for the microSD slot
with a pixel I support google instead of local companies and fairer trade, get better images, better custom ROM support and will lack a microSD slot
may be that I'll decide by picture quality of Fairphone 5 vs Pixel 7, and if the Fairphone can hold its own, I might choose that
I am a bit disappoited about the CPU and the substantial price hike, but most af all the size increase. Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?
