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..)

Hard pass. What a pointless downgrade in functionality. I'm due for a new phone, and this had tweaked my interest, but lacking desktop mode and fast USB is crazy in 2025.
