@heluecht OK, that got me interested. So I looked at further specs... and it isn't quite up to what I'm looking for (apart from the essential Dual-SIM): quadcore (not ocatcode), and not a MediaTek chipset (which I prefer); 8MP+2MP cameras instead of 2x13MP (which I have now - that's a big difference!). Also an old Android version. OTH it does have 4G. I'll put it on my shortlist, but I'm afraid it needs to grow up a little more. @mmn

@mk what the #Fairphone has that no other phone has is an ethical code, which I personally think is worth more than some technical specs .)
(though I agree that when a mobile phone camera is lousy they could've just left it out... I don't know the quality of the FP2 phone though and remember that many high pixel count cameras can be interpolated .))-
@mmn Yes, the ethical aspect is important - but for me functionality comes first. It's not just about "technical specs", it's about the actual use I make of it. My current phone was carefully selected for just that. But forget about "interpolating" pictures. You can never get a better resolution from a lower one: you can get more pixels, but the image will be fuzzy. JPEF is lossy, and information that's no longer there cannot just be re-created out of nothing. More pixels gives you more to work with. The difference between 8MP (Fairphone) and 13.3MP (THL T100s) is huge. When buying my current phone I actually gave a better camera (2, even) priority over 4G support. So now I'm looking for a camera that's at least as good _with_ 4G support (and, as mentioned, absolutely dual-SIM, and MediaTek main chipset). I *use* these features, they're not just "nice to have".
