@pixelcode@social.tchncs.deSome people are still complaining about #Fairphone releasing a new phone every two years.
Wondering when they will finally start to complain about Google, Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi etc. for pumping out new, non-repairable devices which are subject to planned obsolescence literally every couple months, for putting their workers in slavery-like conditions and for using environmentall…

Es sind diese Momente, die mich mein #Fairphone 3 feiern und hoch lieben lassen.
Seit ein paar Tagen weigerte es sich zu laden, obwohl die Akku-Werte noch Recht vital scheinen. Also habe ich heute das Bottom-Module ausgetauscht, über das das USB-C-Ladegerät angeschlossen wird. 17 Schrauben müsste ich dafür lösen. Alles andere ist über Steck- und Kli…
@luana@wetdry.worldFound the specs sheet.
The front camera and ultrawide camera seem to be considerably worse.
The normal wide camera seems to be better, except it lost the electronic stabilisation (not sure how important that is tbh).
The battery is better, but it needs a screwdriver to be changed so no more switch during the day if you don’t have a screwdriver always on you. This comes with no added water resistance, which makes me wonder why they did this.
The display seems to be worse? The resolution is smaller which makes sense since the size is smaller, but also it seems to have less PPI than the Fairphone 5. The refresh rate is higher tho.
It has worse USB-C connectivity as well, the Fairphone 6 has just USB 2.0 (!!!!) compared to 3.0 on the Fairphone 5.
They also got rid of the sky blue color (which was the prettiest imo) and of the transparent option.
I don’t really understand Qualcomm processors, but at least the new GPU seems to have a better benchmark score?

@pgogl@troet.cafeHi Zusammen,
wer von euch hat ein #Murena Phone und ist zufrieden mit Kamera, Privacy, F-Droid, e/OS

@dploeger@mastodon.socialWeiß eins ob die #NextCloud App für #Android auch die Option bietet, alle Bilder immer hochzuladen nach dem Fotografieren. Die iOS-App kann das und ich schiele echt auf ein #FairPhone
Vermutli…
@joxean@mastodon.socialJust bought the new #fairphone 6. If everything goes OK I don't plan to buy another mobile device in 6 to 8 years.
@luana@wetdry.worldWait is it just me or are there multiple downgrades on the Fairphone Gen 6 specs compared to the Fairphone 5?
I can’t really find a detailed spec sheet for the 6 on their website, but it seems that the front and ultrawide cameras are worse?

@tinoeberl@mastodon.onlineDas #Fairphone6 kommt am 25. Juni und setzt erneut auf #Reparierbarkeit und eine faire Produktion.
Der Preis ist geringer als beim Vorgänger, aber immer noch sehr teuer. Neu ist die zweiteilige Rückseite, die farblich kombinierbar ist und modulare Accessoires wie Lanyards oder Karte…
@luana@wetdry.worldI mean, they have an event on June 25th and lots of Fairphone 5 models are sold out. It wouldn’t be sold out if they were still manufacturing it right?
I mean, an upgraded Fairphone will be nice probably. I’m just sad that Fairphone 5 is almost at 100% at postmarketOS but not quite there yet, and probably Fairphone 6 will need to start porting over unless it’s very similar to Fairphone 5.

@joxean@mastodon.socialSome information about the upcoming #Fairphone 6 has been leaked. The TL;DR: super modular, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, price 549.99 euros, rumoured for a June 25th launch.
"Fairphone 6: 'Faires' Smartphone with modular design - Price & Picture".
@luana@wetdry.worldAlso, I’d be fine with a screwed battery cover if it meant greater water resistance. But it seems that the 6 has the same IP55 rating as the 5 so like what the fuck? The Fairphone 5 was prettier too I think, specially the sky blue color (that doesn’t seem to be available anymore unfortunately).

@marsdude@social.linux.pizzaAfter 2 years and 9 months, the health of my phone's battery is getting poor. So in 30 seconds time, I ordered a new one. That is about 3x the amount of time it will take me to replace the old one with it. #Fairphone
@luana@wetdry.worldFairphone will release a Fairphone 6 this month won’t them?
#Fairphone
@luana@wetdry.worldHonestly I’m really disappointed. Why releasing a new model if it’s worse than the previous one?
Fairphone 5 always seemed like a miracle, a phone that actually cared about being fair and that had good postmarketOS support while still having good modern specs compared to other companies phones out there. Fairphone 6 had me excited since the obvious assumption would be even better hardware, but then that’s what we got? Damn, is the dream of a fair phone with good specs over?
As it is today, I’d probably buy a Fairphone 5 over a Fairphone 6. But then once that became outdated, which will happen eventually, it seems that I’d just be orphaned without a phone to upgrade to…
I hope they revert this when they make the Fairphone 7.
Please tell me that the dream of a postmarketOS phone with great specs isn’t over… 
#Fairphone #Fairphone5 #Fairphone6 #postmarketOS
@luana@wetdry.worldAlso I really hope postmarketOS support for Fairphone 5 doesn’t stop evolving now that the gen 6 was released
It’s really nice that the 6 already has preliminary support on pmOS, but its specs are worse so I’m actually considering buying a Fairphone 5. Tho the 5 isn’t available on sky blue anymore which is really sad bc it was super pretty.
