My FP1 is now about 5 years old and coming to the end of usage. No spare parts, and now my 3rd spare battery pack is gone. As I read that FP2 is also sold out it is for me no longer useful to buy a FP2. Not even at a reseller. Long story short: I need a new smartphone - NOW! I like the philosophy o…

True, fair point. There’s also a second-hand market of FP2. Another reason could be not to create promises which can’t be fulfilled, or to wait with announcing for the right time (hey, they do use Macs at Fairphone and Waag).

I guess you will have to look for a second-hand phone, as the “original stuff” is sold out; at Fairphone as well as at resellers.

I sure hope the next phone will have DisplayPort/HDMI capability. With my last phone, I could connect the phone to a portable external monitor and basically use it like a laptop. It saved me buying a laptop as well as a phone. Now I need a new phone (I won’t go into why I can’t repair the old one!). …

[image] leibide: I could connect the phone to a portable external monitor and basically use it like a laptop. Which phone was that? Do you mean slimport?

In principle you could connect a phone with an monitor which has a usb connection. Or use a adapter from usb to vga.

Not unless either: The graphics IP inside the SoC is willing to route display information through that USB channel, or The USB-to-VGA converter is really a USB graphics “card” with a VGA output, the smartphone happens to have drivers for this device and Android is willing to use that as a second m…
