Fairphone proves the usual excuses for ending Android support aren't valid.

Thoughts?

    1. I’m gaming in moonlight so it needs a good decoder
    2. I’m way too poor for a steam deck

    Slide in a 3 here just cause termux x11 + box64droid is really coming along well and I want to be able to play all my games in my phone lol. Especially cause where I work has a lot of down time, but obviously not room for a full pc

      Almost any modern SoC can decode 1080p60 HEVC in real-time. That part is handled in dedicated hardware; the speed of the CPU or GPU next to it does not matter.

        Thank God I referred to that dedicated hardware by name eh? Did some research and the fair phone supports hvec at 8 bit, not 10.

        Personally that looks a bit washed out, and the battery wouldn’t hold up too well - so it’d be a pass for me

        Edit: the fair phone 4 would fair (lol) a lot better though
