Despite all the other compromises with the FF6, I still was ready to buy it until I noticed the USB-C 2.0. Which means no Android Desktop and significantly slower data transfer than the USB-C 3.0 in FF5. The linked Discussion thread from the Fairphone forum has some interesting additional points.

Is this a dealbreaker for you? (It is for me, I'm ordering a different phone today..)

Really cool software! But my use case is that the Offices at my Job have Dell Docking stations everywhere and I really like just plugging my phone into those and using it as a small Desktop PC. I'm not really allowed to install software like this to my Work Notebook as a workaround ;_;
