My iPhone 11 is overheating and very broken. I got it in 2022 and repaired it many times. I m looking for replacing it but I wish a smartphone that could last hopefully for ten years. Are fairphone good and really durable ? Can you insert an external disk like on certain androids ? And are the newest fairphone without generative ai (which is extremely devastating for the environment and climate on top of being unethical) ? Is it worth it ?

Hello! I am currently looking into replacing my old, dying smartphone and am strongly considering a Fairphone. Where I live I have the choice between the FP6 for 550€ or the newly announced FP6+ for 650€. I know this is a decision I have to make myself in the end, but anyway:

What are the differences between the two? "Just" RAM and CPU? Are camera, screen, battery the same?

Any FP6 users feel like those are limiting in any way that the better version is worth another 100€ (18% higher price)?

The new color doesn't matter to me, I'd buy in Forest Green anyway.

I connect my phone to a USB C monitor multiple times every week. I also have a video out glasses that I use occassionally.

With the decision to remove USB C video out (DP alt mode) , FP 6 took itself out of the running for me. I'm willing to overlook the shitty decision on the headphone jack but this killed it. Sad because this checks a lot of niches. Oh well, better luck next time

Who made this decision , especially with newer versions of Android bettering desktop mode support every release.

Hello,

Why the commercials clips and banners of the Gen6+ don't have a front camera shown where the Gen6+ has indeed a front camera ?
On this sub there is also a video clip, that shows the same visuals without a front camera at the start of the video.
Even on the website, there are animated visuals that do not have a front camera.

As someone who looks for a phone without front camera or under the screen camera, this is misleading.

FairPhone is properly in the USDM now with the 6+, I'd love to switch to it; how's the PWM, is there a way to disable it? If it's flicker free, I'd want to get in on the action! Anyone know anything?

just goes too the bootloader or whatevewr its called and wont start the actual phone things. probably due to repeated drops but im not sure. its android but i dont think that matters pretty sure something broke when it fell out my pocket on the way home from work.

I've been waiting for the new Model 6+ to be unveiled, and since the specs don't seem to have changed much, just the CPU and RAM, no new camera or a white model, for example, I decided to get the Model 5 in white, only to find out I can't buy it anymore here on Austria, it's only available in green and black. Does anyone know the reason behind this and why there's a new blue model but no white one?

Which alternatives do I have, I love the white one with the colored button?

Hello everyone,

I am looking for information on changing the glass in front of the camera. My camera is working perfectly, but I scratched the glass covering the lens. I find it a bit expensive to replace the whole module for just a scratch, so I would like to change only the glass. However, I have no idea how to do it or where to find the replacement part.

Has anyone tried to change this part before and would like to offer some advice? And does anyone have a spare part or know where to find one?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and for any advice you can give.

Just a heads up, I opened a Klarna account and they have a tap to pay option within the app (no Google Wallet)!

Tested it on Fairphone 6 with /e/OS and it works, but it can be a bit janky at times.

Anyone else have an issue with charging control on e/os? I've tried to use it so it starts charging at midnight and it's suposed to be fully charged when my alarm rings at 6am but it has been at 80% at most, what's going on?
