Hi all , I stumbled across this (french) article about the Fairphone 3 : link I seems that FrAndroid was at a conference were Fairphone was a partner, about circular economy, and they asked Bas Van Habel a couple of questions about the FP3 For the non-french speaker, what is says : The Fairphon…

Number of cores and frequency isn’t all :frowning: The 400 series uses cortex A53 cores, witch are really small cores (and thus much less instruction per cyce) than the Krait 400s cores (in our Snadragon 801). CPU performances : the A53 have 2.24 DMPIS/MHz (drysthone benchmark, raw performance) w…

Hey all, thank you very much for your contributions to this discussion. (Nice detailed explenation @Elipsus !) I do want to stress that nothing is set in stone. Our new Fairphone will have to be appealing to a big usergroup to help us achieve our goals and make fairer electronics grow. But how we ar…

@Douwe Please note one more point: If next FP is also dual sim, in my opinion it’s very important to have a dual 3G phone because more and more providers are shutting down the 2G network. At least, if one simcard is connected to 4g, the second should be capable to make and receive phone calls over a…

[image] Douwe: Lastly, in this concepting phase we do a lot of research to make sure that a new model is as appealing as possible to as may people. If you want to provide us with your input, please sign up to our newsletter where we will send out soon a survey to gather insights in the opinions …

My biggest wish would be for (at least partial) compatibility with the FP2. If the FP3 is incompatible with its predecessors again, it would really undermine the claim of sustainability (and also the well-known need for bigger quantities of units sold).

My Fairphone is now 1 year, 4 months and 29 days old. Why should I care about a FP3? :grin:

[image] Elipsus: CPU performances :the A53 have 2.24 DMPIS/MHz (drysthone benchmark, raw performance) where the Krait 400 have 3.39DMPIS/MhzIn therms of raw performances, the maximum output of 8A53@1.4Ghz (maximum freq according to Qualcomm datasheet) is 17% less than the output of the 4Kryo400@…

I am sure the decision about the specs of the FP3 will be one of the toughest the company will go through soon. They are not Samsung or Apple who sell their stuff like sliced bread. The FP3 will not be awaited, nobody will camp in front of the company door in Amsterdam (idea for the launch: an of…

This is very attentive, indeed. “Dual-Sim-Active” design of course not as FP2 and most others has dual-sim-standby, but such phones are not very common. I searched for some dual-sim-active in 2015 and mainly found some in the us market (or maybe india). Anyway the design in FP2 convinced me to pur…
