Hoping to see better support for Linux. The Fairphone team collaborated on the Ubuntu Touch port for the Fairphone 4, but didn't do the same for the Fairphone 5. It would be great to see VoLTE on Linux on the Fairphone 6.
Hopefully it isn't 700โฌ with no headphone jack and spotty support this time...
Should but to be honest and I will get flak for this but USB-C headphones are really good. I really want a bigger battery even if it's swappable and a good update sched.
Now, get this: a phone that has both a USB port and a 3.5mm jack ๐คฏ
Bring back jackie or we not talkie!
I donโt need a headphone jack I need degoogled OS.
It kills me that they know they won't have big market share anyway but then go and give people one less reason to go with them. Same with shiftphone.
That and morons arguing against a jack as if they couldn't keep using their Bluetooth stuff all the same.
Yeah. The big reason for flagship phones to eliminate the jack, IP-waterproofing, does not apply to this anyway.
An announcement for the announcement
A comment on a post for the announcement for the announcement
Hope they bring back the 3.5mm jack
Please register with the FCC!
What is this, they need licensing to be sold in the US or to be used?
Glad I wasn't tempted by the 5, in that case!
I haven't had a great experience with my fairphone 4. app/phone crashes, ghost touching, now they announced that they're skipping support for Android 14, technical support has also been rather unresponsive. to top it off, they are usually very late with their security patches and apparently their verified boot implementation is horrible, they use the aosp test keys (which are publicly available) to cryptographically sign their firmware, which completely negates the point of the thing. I guess that's on par with the software support in general...
so yeah, can't recommend the company as is unfortunately ๐
Agreed; I don't hate my FP4, but it's definitely the least polished phone I've ever owned, and it wasn't cheap for it. The ghosting was a nightmare, but they fixed it (eventually) with a software update...which begs the question why it shipped with a bug like that in the first place.
The company has been around far too long to get away with putting out buggy devices.
And that's before we get to the failure to update FP4 (let alone FP3+) to Android 14, despite being well within their support period. In theory FP4 will be going straight to Android 15, but FP3+ is effectively grounded at Android 13; which considering their stated goal of reducing e-waste, is really not a good look.
This is the time for Fairphone.
I recently was looking at upgrades for my s22 and everything so incremental to the point where it feels like smartphones have peaked couple years ago. It's a great opportunity for Fairphone to catch up now that the moat is mostly gone.
Come onnn wireless charging
God damn it i just bought the 5
Same. If FP6 has a smaller form factor and an amazing camera I will be very annoyed.
I bought the 4 a few months before they announced the 5. I felt betrayed because I expected them to announce a fairphone 4+, like they did with the 3... I was expecting them to make phones of theseus that you can upgrade for years but that's clearly not what they are going for :(
I hope that there are components from the 6 that can be used to upgrade the 5
