First of all, I want to mention that I’m still a huge Fairphone fan, which is exactly why it’s a bit painful for me to point out some of the negatives I’ve experienced with both the FP5 and FP6. I’ve always been a bit of a tech geek (technology was also part of my job), but at the same time, I real…

[image] ShaGan: improving the device through replaceable modules rather than making you consider replacing the entire phone for a relatively small hardware improvement. Nobody forces you to replace a perfectly working Fairphone Gen 6 by a Gen 6+ . I even think most of the people in this forum…

[image] ShaGan: I was also surprised when I started looking into why Fairphone devices aren’t supported by GrapheneOS and why GrapheneOS developers don’t recommend /e/OS. Are you really surprised while only Google Pixels can receive GraphenOS according to their website https://grapheneos.org/…

There is a Graphene topic please discuss ovee there [image] Suggestion for a Potential Collaboration Between Fairphone and GrapheneOS The Industry Hello Everyone, I’m a long-time follower and supporter of both Fairphone’s ethical tech initiatives and the priva…

The FP6 user are def. not the targeted audience

[image] ShaGan: My smartphone history looks something like this: … Nokia 701 → Xperia J → Galaxy S4 → Note 4 → OnePlus 6T → 7 Pro → 8 Pro → Fairphone 5 → Galaxy S24 → Fairphone 6. That doesn’t seem very sustainable. My history with cell phones (not just smartphones) is much shorter: 2008–201…

To be honest, I probably fall more in @ShaGan range. I think there’ll always be several types of fairphone users: Those committed to the idea and really trying to squeeze the most out of their device [we salute you], tech enthusiasts who just love the idea to have something that is not made by Apple…

I’m in the same boat re: missing display output over USB-C. I live in the US and currently I’m using a Fairphone 5 that I got while on vacation in Europe. And I love almost everything about the FP6+… except that USB-C docking is an important enough feature for me that I wouldn’t want to give it up. …

[image] uwausac: 2018–present: Fairphone 2—running DivestOS (still the only one I use) DivestOS ended in December 2024 , it’s missing Android security updates since then. Please don’t leave this device connected to the internet, else botnets have it easier than necessary to exploit security ho…

[image] ShaGan: This isn’t really the kind of upgrade I associate with Fairphone. A good example was the Fairphone 3 → 3+, where existing FP3 owners could simply replace the camera modules with the improved ones from the 3+ instead of buying a whole new phone. I was hoping the same when I fir…

“Even the Moments hardware switch could simply be configurable” - It is! Look in settings. I use mine for the torch. Moments didn’t interest me. I use Nova launcher, BTW. Copied all the layout settings from my FP3+.

What is missing. My honest feedback after usage FP5 and FP6. FP6+ worth to exist?
