      Is that from GSMArena’s review or elsewhere? Their test wasn’t very promising, I have to say.

        i was disapointed i wanted to get the 5 but it seems the chip they used is more for industrial use so it doesnt fair well in mobile devices when it comes to battery, i can live with crappy camera, but not a crappy battery life. guess ill have to wait for the 6

      Dang that sucks. I’m already having battery issues with my S21 so I was hoping the Fairphone would be better

      Battery life doesn’t matter on the Fairphone 5 when you can swap the battery in seconds.

        im not carrying around extra batteries just so i can get through the day, battery life is a deal breaker for me, but not you obviously
