The SoC appears to be a 7% CPU/GPU perf bump according to Qualcomm. No info on North American compatibility yet.

      Too small? How big are your hands? When you hold a phone that size, can you reach every corner of the screen with the same hand you’re holding it?

      Maybe you’re looking for a tablet, not a phone.

      So don’t get the Fairphone? If you really want a big screen, get a Surface tablet or something.

      If you want a more reasonably suggestion, the Sony Xperia devices have larger displays (6.5" I think), the Xperia 1 V has a 21:9 display that is tall and skinny, while later devices (Xperia 1 VI onwards) have a more traditional aspect ratio of 19.5:9 (like most other phones). The Xperia 10 VII is awesome but is “too small” at 6.3". If you don’t want a Sony device, you will probably say goodbye to a headphone jack.

      Then you have the Pixels, and many of the older ones can be had for relatively cheap. They come in both big and small sizes, and support a wide variety of custom ROMs too! No headphone jack or microSD slot though.

      And 6.3" is not small for a phone. It’s more like medium. The iPhone Mini had a sub 6" display, as did the smaller Zenfones, so 6.3" is definitely the baseline nowadays.

          Did you not read? I said the Pixels come in the mega big sizes too! Alternatively, get a tablet

            Bro, no offense but you’re the one not reading here. You start off with “so don’t get a fairphone?”, but indeed, grumpycat is not getting a fairphone. Surely people should be able to criticize products they don’t intend to buy.

            And then later in this thread you tell them to buy a used pixel even though they don’t want Google hardware - they didn’t mention paying Google as the problem, but the hardware.

            I’m not trying to hate or be a jerk to you, but maybe consider taking a chiller and more charitable tone with people, especially as you aren’t being as careful or exacting in your own posts and reading as you are expecting from grumpy_cat
