Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That’s actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What’s everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

    USB 2, therefore no external monitor.
    If they make 6+ (like there was 3+) with USB 3, then I will consider getting it.

      ?? my fp4 can use the external monitor, no way the 6 can’t
      it’s usb-c 2.0, not usb 2 maybe that caused the confusion?

      edit: nope, the 4 and 5 does have usb-c 3.0, the 6 has usb-c 2.0 that is weird, going back like that

        Think they said it’s because of keeping the cost down, I never do anything except charging with USB C cables on my phone anyway
