Update 1

I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

Anyone know if this works in Australia ? Our telcos seem to block anyrhing not sold on Australia these days. Not sure how tourists are getting on, data esims I guess.

Anyone know if this works in Australia ?

I don't. However, I do have a search engine, and I plugged in "fairphone 6 australia".

https://old.reddit.com/r/fairphone/comments/1lmcz1l/fp6_australia/

You can view the full list of what Fairphone devices are IMEI/TAC blocked on each Australian network at https://isthisphoneblocked.net.au/device-brands/fairphone

The Fairphone 6 (TAC: 35901961) is within the Optus Checker Database (3 June 2025 Dataset) and is (currently) "Device is NOT Blocked", it just doesn't have a name.

The Fairphone 6 is also not in Telstra's TAC Checker database but it's most likely not blocked (not blacklisted), however it's likely not officially Whitelisted ("Not Blocked") either, so it could be blocked at any time if the telco thinks its 'incompatible'.

Super cool! I have a 5 and my partner is hoping to get a 6.

How's it feel? I went from a pixel to the 5, and she's going from a pixel 8 to the FP6. I'd say my biggest complaint is that the 5 is large and heavy.

Where do you plug in your headphones?

[–] lightrush@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (12 children)

In a Qudelix 5K. Ever since phones got really thin and their jacks too fragile for heavy headphone plugs and cables like the ones on MDR-7506/ATH-M50 (mid 2010s), I embarked on a journey into high quality Bluetooth audio receivers. For many years now FiiO has made way better Bt amps than what's available in most smartphones, even when most had headphone jacks. The Qudelix 5K is one of the best small format amps these days. On the wireless side, LDAC and AptX have eliminated Bt bandwidth as significant quality constraint. That said talking over such a setup has always been some form of bad.

How's the battery life? Also, what OS are you running on it? Any issues with any apps so far?
