Hi, are there any other Fairphone users here who have been using the Fairphone 4 and switched from it to the Fairphone 6 model? Does the Fairphone 6 feel significantly lighter and is it clearly a smaller device than the Fairphone 4?
I don’t have a fairphone 4 but:
considering the fp4 was 162mm x 75.5mm and 10.5mm thick and weighing 225g
While the fp6 is 156.5x73.3mm and only 9.6mm thick while (thanks to the plastic frame) only weights 196g
I would say that objectively the fp6 is a lighter and smaller phone
