I’ve been a long-time Samsung user and I’m considering getting the FP6, though this topic could also apply to older models. After reading through many forum posts, I’m starting to feel a bit hesitant about getting the FP6. It seems there are quite a few significant issues that users can run into. T…

[image] mansp: Settings→Display→Display size and text→Toggle “Bold text” and “Outline text” Thank you! Seems I had the text set to High Contrast which my eyes did not find helpful.

[image] anon17376979: Yes, it can. Just check Settings/System/Buttons/Switch action Thank you Annn! I’ve made it a switch to swap dark and light modes. Helpful for my eyes. I was sure I read something in the User Manual about it being limited in what it could do in e/OS - but I can’t find th…

I’m coming a little bit late to this post, but here are my thoughts on my FP6 that I use since September. My summary is: I would love to love it, but I can’t.

Yes, that sums it up quite nice. I am very much in debate with myself if I’ll stick with the Fairphone 6 or not.

You should be able to solve all the software issues with a custom ROM (e.g. /e/OS). I get it’s frustrating to see all those issues pop up on a brand new phone, especially from a manufacturer that aims at combating planned obsolescence notably, but I think it’s unfair (no pun intended) to put all the…

Ich bin zufrieden. Ich war es mit FP2, FP3+ und nun mit FP6. Wenn etwas nicht perfekt ist, passe ich mich an, das ist in meinen Augen ein geringer Preis für alles das, wofür das FP steht.

Who is happy with the FP6?
