Fairphone 3+, a four months impression

Pre-installed apps could be much better (what follows are obviously based on my tastes). Youtube app for listening to music is really awful, AIMP is a far better alternative. I didn’t like the stock file manager application and I installed the file manager from SimpleTools. Google Photos is also bad as a gallery application and I installed the one from SimpleTools.

Yeap! Replaced with (MP3 Player, File Manager and Gallery from Simple tools. I also replaced the default Camera app with the Nikita option and the launcher with Nova

All of the rest of your post seems almost ‘de rigueur’ sadly but apart from charging issues down to my 12V system and the low vol on WhatsApp all seems fine 6 months down the line.

And as for cost, well I’m not really paying the price, doubling the price may be more realistic for the Fairtrade side of things as long as there wasn’t this embarrassing support issue
