I actually quite like this. A little bit smaller 120hrz screen, a solid and efficient SD 7s gen 3, slightly bigger battery, 100 bucks less than FP5 on release. Those are big wins in my book.

But no 3.5 jack… something EVERYBODY complained about. There’s no good excuse to not add this. And the fact FP is not known for quality software (update policy, unpolished and buggy software) is something to keep in mind.

EDIT: i decided to go for it and ordered the Forest Green e/os version! I can post a review once i have it, if people here would enjoy that.

This seriously looks bad… Hope they will come back from this before 26 releases.

Totally agree on this. Beside missing the headphone jack, the FP5 was just very mediocre in my experience. Haptics and battery life/thermal performance were terrible, software had some serious flaws (bugs like randoms reboots, framerate issues, portions of the UI didn’t normally fit the screen using certain settings). I got rid of it pretty soon after i got it.

Not to mention they decided to skip Android 14 for the FP4 and just go straight ahead with Android 15… i mean, it was a good choice, but they should’ve had their shit together in the first place.

I really hope they will do better with the 6, although i have serious doubts about that. I would like to support Fairphone, but won’t buy another Fairphone if they are as unpolished as the FP5. And the next time i decide to give them another chance, i will go straight ahead a get the Murena one (if they keep doing that with future releases).

Honestly, this design style is getting too cartoonish… I really don’t like this

They are pretty much the same now. Such a shame, because i really liked to old K-9 (both design and performance were better IMO). Thunderbird is fine tho.

Yep, this exactly.

I have a Moto G55 because they are one of the fewer out there with a LCD screen (i wanted a phone that was not prone to static images, such as navigation on highest brightness for many hours a week and i really, really don’t like Oled ghosting/black smearing). But sadly, due to bugs and bloatware, Motorola is a no-go.

Such a shame… the G2 was probably the phone i loved most of all i had over the years.

Motorola basically does this too: Live Lock Screen, an app owned by Taboola News.
