The Fairphone 5 seems significantly less power efficient than the Pixel 7 :(

@martijnbraam Ouch. Power is hard :-(, and IIRC they used industrial chip, not phone chip. I guess it is still way better than PinePhone? Is camera still broken, as described in https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp5) ?

@pavel this is while running the factory android image on both devices.

@martijnbraam
In standby or usage?
For specific usecases more than others?
Do you have 90hz / 5G enabled?

@homo_particeps mostly standby. 90Hz is still disabled and I don't have 5G at my carrier. It's one of the fun cases where the battery usage tracking reports no power being used by anything specific...

@martijnbraam
That indeed hints at the chipset. Many say it's due to the qcm6490 not being designed as a smartphone chip.
But it seems hardware wise not to be that much different from, e.g. a snapdr. 780G. The biggest difference seems to be wifi; might that be a factor?
Or the software drivers act differently. But then i wouldn't know what they would purposely leave enabled, they surely wouldn't maintain different code for so similar chips without reason.

@martijnbraam
Such a shame! The alternative mobile phone space is very hard nowadays

@martijnbraam there are lot of thoughts about this on Fairphone forum. I've read through about 1/4 of discussion and it looks like Always on Display is probably one part of the issue.

@j4n3z it seems a bit wasteful to have the display powered on while the thing is in my pocket. I wonder why the "always on" display doesn't get turned off based on the proximity sensor.

@martijnbraam @j4n3z It should turn off?? My OnePlus 6 on LOS 21 turns off it's AoD when the proximity sensor is covered.

@daniel @j4n3z why shouldn't it? when my phone is in my pocket it doesn't need to show the time on the display...
