Fairphone 6 – Any Feedback on Microphone Quality?

With the FP5, one of the proposed solutions was to download OpenCamera and change some microphone audio source settings as you can see in the latest comments here. But after a few months of using OpenCamera to record videos in loud environments on my FP5, I can say it doesn’t make much of a difference.

Based on my experience, I still can’t record videos or send voice messages in noisy environments—the sound becomes completely distorted. I also tried using the Dolby On app to record video/audio and tweak the tone and other audio settings. It helps slightly, but it takes time and effort, and the improvement is minimal.

I really can’t believe they still haven’t fixed this major issue in the FP6, especially considering that it was already widely reported with the FP4.
