They've been trash phones since the 4. My wife and i had the 3s and they were great phones.
My wife has been through both the 6 and 7 now and is constantly having issues with the hardware and some minor issues with the software. Phones overheating and shutting off just from browsing the web, poor battery life, screen completely dying, apps like spotify and facebook just not loading or crashing, the phone freezing up and not accepting any screen or button input, the phone calling 911 by itself.
I didn't hear great things about the 5 either. But it seems like their marketing department knows what it's doing because the 8 sounds like it's getting rave reviews yet again.
I'm hoping fairphone brings their new phone to the US.
Still babying my 8 y/o oneplus w/aux port. still not settling
