In case of contact to water you could quickly disconnect the battery connector after removing the back.
Pic 41: There seems to be a rubber protecting the SD card. I guess you can just insert any SD card.
Except for the change of file system, SDXC cards are mostly backward compatible with SDHC readers, and many SDHC host devices can use SDXC cards if they are first reformatted to the FAT32 file system.
This is not exactly the answer but to me the compatibility seems to be very high.
Imho the torx screws have a higher quality than philips screws.
CE in pic 28 seems to be “Conformité Européenne” not China Export
The Shift 8 has IP66. They used seeling lips to achieve that. Curious to see what FP has done to get better rating, if the information about the rating is correct.
The tricky part of such sealung lips is, its more or less easy to assemble the phone “wrong” to impair the IP rating.
very true, it could just be a bland and transparent branding move.
If it is just that, it’s not that well executed. The “The” is a bit clunky tbf. The facebook did get rid of the the ; there isn’t any reason to do that, really
Regarding the name: The brand name is spelled “fairphone” on the device, the device name (picture 39) keeps capitals: “The Fairphone (Gen. 6)”. Not sure what to make of this.
Maybe we should just remember that all we have is nothing more than speculation, so we speculate about the speculation. Well nothing wrong with that just mentioning to contextualize (expectations…).
My two cents on this topic, is that with the back and battery being secured with screws, you can no longer do that party trick where you quickly take off your back cover and take out your battery to drop some jaws in the room.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
That phone lools extremely good, in my opinion. I might just ditch my aging FP4 in favour of this one, should the software stack be good enough (which sadly isn’t guaranteed).
Well at the moment its still what it is: a possible relaease of the FP6 on 25th June. FP itself nowhere said what they are planning to reveal at that date, its still a secret
Apparently, there is already detailed specs site at gsmarena (Fairphone 6 - Full phone specifications). It appears that FP6 will be even (slightly) more gigantic than FP5, so calls for smaller/compact FP were not heard … again. Shame, until such phone, I will stick with FP5.
