Just got the FP3. Although it is shown on their website in the hand of one person, I must admit that I did not expect the look and feel would be so brick-like. If I had seen it in a shop I would not have bought it. It will not fit in a trouser pocket but sticks out 2cm. I am lost how to carry it …

In Berlin, a lot of people wearing their smartphones as necklace, but for now, there is no necklace you can buy, you have to do it yourself :slight_smile: FP3 smartphone necklace (🇩🇪 Handykette)

~120 mm x ~60 mm? You seem to want a dumbphone? Cause that does not exist with recent Android on it. https://tweakers.net/categorie/215/smartphones/producten/#filter:q1YqSExPDc6sSlWyMjXQUSooykxO9c3MU7ICcooLUpPdMnNKUouKlayqlcxNLEFULkhWycJMz0BJRyk3sQLIMTSyAPJqdZTMTQ0QSkyMkZSYmeiZKNXW1gIA That’s with…

I was like, perhaps Light Phone II, it is small. [image] Light Phone 2 A simple 4G phone with e-ink, messaging & other essential tools—a phone that actually respects you. | Check out 'Light Phone 2' on Indiegogo. It is basically a dumbphone with e-ink. Sigh. I …

For me its either a backpack or - and that is quite often - no phone at all, I leave it at home and enjoy it not to be reachable by everybody. Reading the posts on this site I guess that the fairphone is generally not the kind of phone to carry in your trousers, - the modularity does make it more vu…

I put Lineage 16 on my old Sony Z3c and was actually tempted to send the FP3 back, but then I found someone who was looking for a secondhand phone. I tested the build for about a week using all of my usual apps (social media, Google and OSM maps, YouTube, etc.) and it was rock solid stable. It was a…

Mine just sticks out of all my pockets. That’s been the case with me and phones for many years now, though, not just this one. I can’t remember the last phone I had that actually fully fit in a pant pocket (some jackets are still okay, and admittedly where I live you often have a jacket). And I go…

Surpingly I found that two jeans I own have back pockets large enough to fit the full FP3. :sunny: At the same time after using is for a few days I am just a bit disappointed by the earned value of that larger screen. I have a Galaxy S4mini with LineageOS 16 (also android9) beside for comparison. H…

I may be totally mistaken, but I guess that it’s on the app, how they handle the larger screen. If the app has a fixed page, then this is just scaled; which probably benefits people which are visually challenged. You do mean to sell the FP3 as soon as a FPmini is available; right? Well, then I rea…

[image] Someone: This only leaves Maps/Videos as the main sources for screen size benefit. Browsing/scrolling the web and/or social media do benefit, too. Incidentally, that is an important use-case for the average person. It is the reason for the taller screens these days (21:9 being the new…

Fairphone3 - really big, how to carry in summer?
