    The only thing that makes me cautious about this phone is the CPU. Will it still be performant in 5+ years?

      I mean I’m running a FP3 from 4 years ago and literally nothing changed. Phones don’t magically get slower if they’re not filled up with bloat.

        They do if you stick with the OEM’s ROM.

          Technically no, the OEMs ROM is what gets slower, hence my comment about bloat.

      I’m still rocking a 2017 phone, courtesy of lineage.

      People are shocked how fast it is, not because it’s old (they don’t know), but because it’s faster than anything they have.

      Bloat, apps running for no reason, really slow a phone down.

        It felt this way for me for my last Samsung S10. Their android become an unusable mess, bloated to the brink,so I switched it to Lineage. It felt like a different phone.

        That phone alone determined me to go for Pixels which allow relocking bootloader with custom roms.

          Yea, Samsung was my last device that caused me to switch to AOSP and now Lineage.

          Had Moto before that which was pretty good, far less bloat.

      If you use your phone like 99% of people do, it will be completely fine. If you don’t do gaming or 4K video editing on your phone, there’s no problem. The CPU will even be fine for Instagram face filters for the foreseeable future

      I ordered the FP5 after using my OnePlus 3T for nearly 7 years, so I imagine it’ll be OK on that front, given I’m switching only due to issues with the USB port and power button.

      YMMV but for regular users it should be fine.

      Not sure how the CPU compares, but I’m still running a Pixel 2 XL and the only real issue I have is the lack of RAM. CPU speed is no issue here.
