Sustainability is nice, but it can't come at the cost of performance.

Instead of a modern SoC Fairphone uses an obscure automotive chip with the performance of an iPhone 7. As a result, it's obsolete out of the box.

Actually look at the chip in benchmarks, it's faster than my old oneplus, which was running totally fine until I decided to replace it with an s22 for battery degradation reasons...
