Haven't had an FP6 in my hands yet, but I've been using FP since the Fairphone 2, am currently using the FP4 and besides the ethics in sourcing their materials and manufacturing (which they genuinely attempt to provide, and while there is no ethical consumption in capitalism, there are still degrees of fucked-upness.), I do enjoy the repairability, longevity and long-term support. They are also decently supported by de-googled-android and even pure Linux phone operating systems, if you want to experiment there, and come without a lot of bloat that nowadays is ubiquitous with most smartphones.

If I didn't miss it, no wireless charging again... Some one told me they refuse to do it because it wastes electricity. To which I'd say, even just turning on a car probably uses magnitudes more energy than charging my phone wirelessly. I don't want to mess up the USB C port if I don't have to, thanks.

My 3 greatest wishes are:

Replaceable battery

Replaceable usb charging port

120 watt cahrging

I had a phone without before, that one came with a simple cheap passive adapter for USB-C to 3.5mm headset. You lose out on using headphones while charging, but other than that I was never really inconvenienced...

Replaceable battery

40€

Replaceable usb charging port

20€

120 watt cahrging

33W

Is it me or did they get slightly more vague on their marketing materials, wrt the environmental impact ( at least compared to fp5 ) ?

Also the battery seems a bit harder to replace, as you now need a screwdriver. It does appear to be more flush, so it may be due to size constraints.

Edit: and there's "more" replaceable parts because the back is split in two. That split might prove better for durability tho, because pulling the back on their older phones felt like it would break every time.

Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don't even support 100w.

You have these usb-c to mini jack adapters. They are like 5 to 10eu. They are small enough to keep them attached to your jack headphone. It works perfectly for me.

I think it is better to view the usb-c plug as 'one protocol to rule them all'. If you do so, it makes quite some sense.

I'm sad that the battery swap requires a screwdriver, but it's really fine. As long as it's not glued in I don't care honestly.

The modular back is cool, specs look nice, lighter and smaller than my FP5 is a great thing, cuz this thing is heavy and the battery is mid.

It looks cool! Good direction I think. Of course I want a headphone jack, but I am learning to live without

Ultra fast charging is so good though. I've got a oneplus 12 and it charges from 0-100 in like 30 minutes.

I've never had one of those actually work...

Screwdrivers are pretty entry-level tools though.

You also have to remember to have that adapter with you

You can find adapters that can charge while still having a 3.5mm back

Looks like they hit the nail strong and sharp on this one. I am still using my 2019 Nokia which does not look like it's going bust anytime soon. Too bad, I would have loved to use the FF6

After having a phone without a 3.5mm port or a microSD card slot, the top 2 features I want on a phone are a 3.5mm port and a microSD card slot.

Shame Sony discontinued their Xperia 5 series, even if they were also excessively priced.

I know I know, but it was really convenient to keep a spare battery and do a quick swap on the fp4.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

An issue shared with the headphones themselves

Think I'm getting it, my Redmi Note 8 is aging and I'm pretty sure the current batch of custom ROMs is basically the last apart from the fact that the kernel is no longer supported, and Xiaomi is closing the doors on custom ROMs more and more it seems. Yeah, the new FP isn't perfect but it seems good enough to pull the trigger, and while the Pixels seemed like a good alternative in some aspects, Google recently made it very clear where they see Android's future, and it's not more open.
