thank you very much! I didn’t find it when I checked (in the “cables” dept)
I have short one - but you’re right, not available anymore. Bit of a shame.
It is included in the adapters category (not cables).
Or you can just check the whole accessories section.
@Joost_Verhoeven it is still available and got updated I think a year ago or so.
thank you!
what are your thought (or others’ thoughts) on the Screen Protector / Privacy Mode?
When I bought the FP6 they were out of screen protectors, so I will now buy one, together with the adapter, and maybe a back-up battery, #justincase
Hi,
I don’t have FP6 so I cannot comment on the privacy protector for it.
The reviews are rather good. One points out it is not a 4-way privacy screen, I guess meaning the protection is limited (never had a 4-way protection myself). I also believe it is more of a foil than glass type.
I have been using privacy screens on my FP5 for two years now, I guess.
The one from Fairphone was one of the best I had, but also the most expensive. It is a glass screen protector.
The one I am using now was mentioned on reddit,
It is beautiful, matte, but I am not overly enthusiastic about privacy effect and it scratches too easily (perhaps due to it being hydrogel).
Final notes
This is the topic for accessories for FP6
Edited to add this one
I do not think it makes sense to purchase a spare battery unless you want to use it now (not very likely with a screwed in battery) - they degrade over time.
good news (for me): I just got the usb-c to mini-jack aadpter from FP and it’s working fine.
btw somehow I was unable to find this adapter in the FP shop, but I remembered that @Meaghan had posted the link here (thanks again), so all’s well.
Hi everyone!
I’m really pleased with this article, and I’d like to add my own, more detailed account.
I’ve been a Fairphone ambassador for quite some time now; if anyone’s interested in one of my stories, here’s one of the best 
I’ve been a Fairphone enthusiast for years – my family have just had to put up with it (my wife has an FP4, my daughter has an FP4, my younger daughter has an FP3+ and my mum has an FP3+).
I’ve been using an FP3+ phone with the e/OS operating system for quite some time now, and I’ve been very satisfied with it. It’s got wet twice already, and I’ve had to replace the microphone in it.
It did everything I needed it to; I used a 3.5mm jack plug with a wired headset, I used to listen to music on it in the car and make phone calls (although recently, following the e/OS/ upgrade, there was some sort of fault – the phone would regularly restart when I did this, but this was a problem for others too).
The attached image shows my collection.
But I always had a niggling thought in the back of my mind about what a new version might be like, right up until I spotted a second-hand one on Vinted, advertised as ‘unopened’, with the e/OS/ operating system, no warranty, and at half the price of the online shop.
Even at this very moment, a phone like this is on sale, without any paperwork, and theoretically still in its original packaging.
Of course, I asked him for the IMEI number, but it didn’t throw up any errors; however, he couldn’t provide a proof of purchase, saying he’d received it as a gift. I asked him to look into it, as it was important for the warranty, but it turned out he’d bought it from another website selling second-hand goods and had resold it for a small profit.
As this phone is expensive to buy new in Hungary, I saw an opportunity to get one for myself, so I bought the phone along with a case and a screen protector.
So, here’s my experience after nearly three weeks:
-
I really miss the LED notification; I simply don’t understand why they’ve done away with it, so I always have to unlock my phone to see if anything’s happened (and that’s not just an old man’s complaint, it’s simply a matter of practicality).
-
The vibration mode is so weak that I often don’t feel the phone vibrating in my pocket when I get a call.
-
The volume is low.
-
The screen brightness regularly drops to the default level, which is annoying.
-
On the FP3, the battery could be replaced without any tools, but here you need not just a small Phillips screwdriver – which is widely available – but a Torx screwdriver. On quite a few occasions, the phone froze so badly that the only way to sort it out was to remove the battery. That’s no longer the case. When I went into the mountains for several days, it wasn’t a problem for me if the phone ran out of battery, as I could pop in a spare battery at any time.
-
The most annoying thing is the eSIM. The e-SIM often shows a signal, but as it turns out, that particular SIM has long since been disconnected from the network. I mainly make calls from my work SIM; this afternoon I tried to ring my family from my private e-SIM, but even after a long time the phone didn’t ring out, at which point I realised it wasn’t working again. After restarting the phone, I received a text message notification saying I’d received a call on my private number that morning, so it had been unavailable since then…
-
The phone feels noticeably faster, the new fingerprint reader is convenient, and you can really feel the boost in speed compared to a few years ago.
-
I really miss the 3.5mm jack – this wired workaround is really a bit of a faff. Wired headphones never run out of battery
But all things considered, I’m still happier with my old phone, and I’m actually thinking about switching back – it did exactly what I needed it to do, perfectly.
If anyone needs FP3 spare parts, as shown in the photo, I’ve got a few (I bought most of them on Vinted for next to nothing).
The phone feels noticeably faster; the new fingerprint reader is handy, and you can really feel the boost in speed compared to a few years ago.
Peace & love
