Will the Snapdragon 750g be enough in 3, 5 or more years?

Hello everyone,

I would like to buy the fairphone 4, but I wonder if the processor is viable in the long run?
Won’t the phone get really slow over time? Even for basic use?
I can’t imagine the fairphone 4 supporting an android 14 or 15 properly.

Personally, I would have preferred to pay a little more for the phone and have a more viable processor in the long term.

What do you think about the processor ?

Thanks in advance !
