To come back to this: I don’t remember exactly what one of the developers told me a month ago about the FP3 software, but I believe he said the FP3 makes use of it already.

Good point, while this is not related to the performance, it’s equally important. I checked this again and according to Google, all devices launching with Android 9 must support Project Treble: „Going forward, all devices launching with Android 9 Pie or later will be Treble-compliant and take full advantage of the Treble architecture to deliver faster upgrades. “

If i take the cpu performance of the fp2 now, i think for me the deciding factor is 4GB

Hmm, 4GB ist probably fine, but still it makes me wonder if a Pro/Plus/Performance/S Version would be interesting from a market perspective as well. Faster SoC, more RAM, higher price.
If I knew such a device could be coming, I would think about buying a FP3 now and resell it when a faster Fairphone is coming. If not, I would rather opt for a faster device now to keep it longer.

What do you think?
