Resorting to insults really?
3.5mm Aux takes up a shit load of space to connect 4 analog wires. If a phone has Aux it should at the very least be 2.5mm.
It makes no sense to me why you can't just use an adapter.
More battery > Redundant analog cable most people don't use anyway.
I might be a idiot as you say, but the people at Fairphone don't seem to be because they ditched AUX as they should have
Having yet another thing to keep charged
a usb port is far easier to break
I hate earbuds, I want my same old over the ear $15 sony headphones that last for yearsBT is just another thing to fuss with for no apparent benefit, I have an assortment of BT crap that won't connect consistently.
Whatever convenience BT might offer is negated by the time wasted learning the intricacies of the ever changing APPs [software] -
When you drop your Fairphone, you can easily repair it.
Still on my FP4, no need to change, really. Only updated the battery once.Again, my point is the cadence supports people looking to upgrade, not people who are already on a fairphone. You are not the market

Yeah lol.
Paper exists, just saying

Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.
-
There's a deGoogled version too!!
I would prefer GrapheneOS (If I can live with the irony of getting a Pixel phone just to deGoogle it...). Sandboxing there is way better. But you lose the Repairability.. Gotta check and compare the new EU metrics too.
They are just two different devices.
Is it really de-googled if it still runs Android?
-
Then don’t spread information online that you don’t know to be true, Jesus Christ man.
You seriously saying that
On Lenmy?
Negro plz

You can purchase the /e/os version. But it is more expensive
-
Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.
But these are made in china...

Who in the US is buying midrange or flagship phones without a loan?
You can literally buy an excellent phone that will last you for 3-4 years for less that 400 USD, hell I'd say it's even better for the environment to buy used or refurbished phones and save even more money
-
GraphineOS is more secure
We know GrapheneOS only makes their OS on Pixel phones or whatever their own device will be so it's moot

E/os is just android.

I do see that Ubuntu touch is an option though.
It’s shameful that most phones run one of two operating systems. There’s not enough competition. I’m still pissed about WebOS and Windows Phone being abandoned. I am hopeful though that web-based apps might make it possible for another OS to enter the market successfully at some point.
-
Why do you think so? We still don't have proper support for the Fairphone 4 on pmOS, why'd the 6 be any better?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Because as you said it is available in some capacity already. Plus people complain about the slow speed of the 4 so maybe people will want to develop quicker for the 6. I could be totally wrong but I'm hopeful
-
I dont understand Fairphone, flashy hardware with poor software security and awful sustainability (they stop selling parts quickly).

Oh, I apologize. I misunderstood your main concern, I though it’s about Google Play instead of Android.
Yes, the only choice for most mobile phones are either Android or iOS. Things like Pinephone and FydeTab Duo exists, but so rare.

I just want them to make a true flagship phone. I personally wouldn't mind paying extra for a more ethical phone, if it had all the bells and whistles and wasn't half obsolete straight out of the box.

Thats because pixels fit the rigid standards, if Fairphone met them they would make a version for them
-
I love the idea but the price is too high for the chip given that this is designed to be a longevity phone. A chip like the 7s Gen 3 would make the phone sluggish after a couple of years with how unoptimised todays apps are.
The Gorilla Glass 7i and IP55 water resistance are also concerning given that budget Samsung, Xiaomi, etc phones beat this.
However having components of the phone being easily replacable is a great thing.
Are you aware why it is called "Fair Phone"?
Maybe look into that, before complaining about the price, it makes you look stupid.

That would be great but that's just not the way it is unfortunately

how do you charge the phone with a DAC plugged in?
wrote last edited by [email protected]If we revisit the "loud" vs "statistically significant" paradigm, while it is a shame you will not be able to charge the phone with a dac in without buying a specific cable, how often does the average person do so?

FP would be a good choice for Graphene.
