Also flick between a lot of apps and am writing this from my FP5

Honestly: no, not really. I haven't noticed any sluggishness whatsoever.

Now that I'm looking for it, i did notice that apps aren't kept open in the background but are instead restarted when you switch. But the load time is so abysmal (0.2 - 0.5s), i literally never noticed until i started looking for you.

I like it a lot. It's a really great phone for me. But i am also not your typical user. I don't game, except maybe a sudoku once in a while. I use my phone exclusively for: lemmy, music, texting, calling and watching videos.

I do wish it was iphone-mini-sized, but that's not a Problem with FairPhone but rather a Problem with the industry as a whole.
