Such a cool phone. We need more like this.
Honestly quite the downgrade in some departments imo. You cant swap the battery without a screwdriver anymore (was great for hiking with a secondary battery) and no USB3 which also means no DP over USBC.
Now if only they’d support Graphene OS or something like that. Preferably signed, so that banking apps would have a chance of working.
In the long run bonus - Linux support would be nice too.
@rollerbang @ryanee@anonsys.net CalyxOS/LineageOS/postmarketOS/UBTouch and/or /e/OS would be better for trying to get banking support, they are compatible with plenty more devices including Google Pixel while GrapheneOS is only compatible with Google Pixel
Fairphones are pretty well supported with PostmarketOS which is mainline Linux. Audio support being one big feature that is missing on all of them. Luca Weiss from Fairphone is working on mainline Linux patches for these devices. The Fairphone 6 booted with Linux support on the first day it was released (though still missing many drivers)

I wish Fairphone would hire more People to work on Linux support
If only they supplied the parts for older models lmao
And a 2/10 for global availability
