No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

definetely, i've only owned xiaomi and huawei devices that were on the brink of not working at all sometimes. compared to that, my Fairphone 4 is pretty reliable.
although the camera could be better, it's perfectly usable. take a look at my cat trying to figure out what a cordless drill is.![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/30c925a0-0f63-4a1d-9e64-48fef800868a.jpeg)
i would call CPU performance "good enough" and GPU performance "kinda bad for the money". even though fortnite, star rail and genshin impact run at a stable 30fps on low settings at 100% resolution.
and the battery lasts the day only if you're lucky.
all in all, if has been my companion for one and a half years now and i don't regret spending full price on it. i imagine the Fairphobe 5 being even better, it supposedly performed very well in mkbhd's blind camera test.
and don't get me started about the ability to repair this thing. i've had it disassembled down to the motherboard multiple times, there are no adhesives in there, like at all. the CPU has some kind of hard thermal pad.
How's audio for videos or calls, or auto brightness? Any other annoying things? I'm interested in getting one when my phone eventually dies, but Linus from ltt was having a lot of annoying issues with it.
i have the FP4, and there are definetely some small things. but the major ones all get patched in a couple of weeks. the smaller issues might be bunched into a larger update. there was also the issue of ghost touch with my model, but after contacting support they sent me a replacement screen to swap in.
if you are aware of a certain issue and want to wait until they fix it, they have a changelog for every model. here's the one for the FP5: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18682800465169-Fairphone-5-OS-Release-Notes
that notification thing is really annoying, but i'm certain they are aware of that and are trying to fix it ASAP. if linus is complaining about your product, that's a lotta bad press.
edit: forgot to answer your questions. volumes are fine and adjustable. although the loudspeaker isn't as loud as i would expect it sometimes. auto brightness works well, but it does sometimes stay bright after going into a dark room. usually i just nudge the brightness down, and it'll work after that.
