Android

ASL?

Preliminary battery testing results:

During this first discharge session, I've installed apps, transferred data, posted all my comments here, etc. All on WiFi.

Does the LTPO display work and save battery by dialing down the refresh rate to 1hz when idle for 24/30hz when playing videos?

Also, do casual games support 120fps like pocket rogues, quest of wizard, etc.

Last question, is the animation experince good with 3rd party launchers like Niagara, Smart launcher 6, Lawnchair?

How's the camera. Compared to say samsung or iphone if you had any of those before.

Can we get a side by side photo of this with your old phone (pixel 8 pro)?

Want to see how much smaller it is and is it is small hands friendly

What is their plan to provide long-term support? How long do they say they will support it? I had the FP1 and after a few years there were no more firmware updates from I think Qualcomm. Google eventually stopped supporting the chip for newer android versions, and fairphone didn't have the resources to do it on their own. Then there was a major security vulnerability. I don't remember which one, but basically remote code execution was possible just by visiting a website. With no updates for the FP1, it was unusable from then on for everything remotely private.

The hardware worked fine until the end, but this mess made it unusable. In comparison, my recently bought Pixel 9 gets updates until 2032.

What kind of motorbike would you recommend for vietnam? Redlining a Honda Wave to do 55mph for an hour is awful, but a <200 lb bike is really nice in traffic and when you have to go over curbs, and bigger bikes are more likely to attract police attention.

My buddy got a cb1000r dirt cheap, and hates it in the city, and is constantly paranoid every traffic cop is gonna take the bike or demand a shitton of money.

What is your skin treatment routine? Your hands look nice and smooth.

1. Are you running /e/OS or Android?

2. How are the OS speeds?

3. How is the camera?

4. How is the Bluetooth audio quality?

5. Are you using the phone inside or outside the EU?

6. If using inside the US, how is the cellular service?

7. Any flaws you can see now, and any cool aspects?

Is it noticeably slow?

I bought the FP4 a year or so ago, and I couldn't tolerate how slow everything was on it

Also, does it work with US cell networks?

Was the downgrade to USB-C 2.0 noticeable to you so far? As in, with the slower data transfer speed or lack of Display output?

It's the main reason why I ended up going with a Pixel 9 pro instead of Fairphone 6 when getting a new phone a few months ago

I'll give a short overview of my experience with the phone thus far. In general, I'm pretty happy with it. For now it's adequately snappy. It does lag in some apps and has some odd behavior (YouTube seems to lock the refresh rate to 60 as soon as any preview starts playing, even if it's off screen, making scrolling not as smooth), but in general the responsiveness of the phone itself is very good. They have some annoying bugs. For example, they still haven't fixed the screen being locked to like 10Hz when unlocking the phone sometimes. But, in general, it hasn't really been a problem, have been using it without much issue. The most annoying part has to be the positioning of the volume buttons, for me at least. They're positioned on the left side of the phone, directly opposite to the power button, so I'm constantly taking accidental screenshots. It's extremely annoying, and I don't understand why they decided to put it there. As someone else mentioned, there are tiny gaps between the screen and the frame, as well as some other seams, so some dead skin gets in there making the phone look a bit dirty, but it isn't too bad. Double tap to wake is pretty bad, it often doesn't register double taps properly, and it often gets accidentally activated in my pocket, making the phone try to dial emergency services, forcing me to disable it.

While I have been quite critical when listing the faults, in general I'm still happy with the phone. I was actually surprised by the camera. It's nothing special, but I expected it to be worse. However, it has much beter performance than I expected, especially in low light, just that the zoom is very bad since it doesn't have an optical zoom lense. It does what I need it to while being more repairable and from a more ethical company, so if you need a mid range phone, and don't mind minor inconveniences, I'd recommend it.

How long did shipping take?

Is the screen glass easy to change?

I want to like these. I compared the specs though and my note 20 ultra from half a decade ago still blow these out of the water in terms of specs.

I want a high end repairable phone

Is the software buggy? I did not like the Fairphone 5 mainly because of how buggy the Google Android version was... I had random reboots and freezes, framerate issues, UI elements that glitched or didn't fit the screen properly. Hope they were able to fix that by now.

I too have the Gen 6, but i choose the e/OS version. Great phone so far.

What do you use that yellow switch for?
