Hi everyone, Just wanted to take a moment to check in with you all after the first week of the new Fairphone being out in the wild. To those of you who joined us at the launch event in Amsterdam, it was really great seeing you again. We hope you had a blast and felt the same positive energy we did…

Thank you for the update! It’s good to hear that you are paying attention to the feedback and already working on improving the rough edges :slightly_smiling_face: It’s also easier to live with those small rough edges and not get frustrated, knowing you are looking in to improving them. Loving the …

Thank you for the information! Sounds good. PLEASE fix the sound recording quality, especially while recording Videos. I would even pay for a replacement of the microphone. Ist just so bad, honestly not usable in most situations. Apart from that I really like the fairphone 6. It would be a sh…

Glad to see this. I ordered my FP6 yesterday, my first Fairphone, and was a bit disheartened to read about the problems some people are facing, so it’s good to see that you read the community forums and are already taking action.

Welcome here. Don’t care too much of the problems you read. I think you could over estimating them. Not every users here write their personal good experience but almost everyone of us write about problems (and, often, solution).

Welcome to the Community forum. Also following and getting involved in the /e/OS community is very recommendable :+1: (I am an /e/OS user myself, although still on an FP3). /e/OS usually comes with a fork of OpenCamera as its default camera app. Only last year, /e/OS was for the first time ever ab…

True, currently it is indeed not an option for the /e/OS FP6, I indeed read that for FP4/FP5 this option was added in the /e/OS settings a while back. I’ll definitely get involved in the /e/OS community and report my findings there as well, thanks for the clarification on how Fairphone and Murena w…

Hey we are on it! Thanks for your patience.

Hi there. Wanted to ask if you will be looking at the mic issues for call quality too as it’s a reason I’m considering returning my fairphone as it’s not useable in loud environments or on Bluetooth headphones. Would appreciate some feedback as I know others have also complained about this

A quick check-in from the team: Fairphone (Gen. 6) early-life update
