A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Now if we could just get them in the USA...

At the same time, I kind of respect their conviction to only sell in Europe where they don't need to participate in global shipping to the same extent, and don't need to grow unsustainably. We want something like the Fairphone? Someone here has got to make it.

How is the software experience with Fairphone? Is it generally pretty stable and bug free?

[–] Mogster@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks rather nice. My Pixel 6 should be good for a few years yet, but I'd like to think my next phone will be a Fairphone if they keep improving like this.

Agreed; I have a oneplus 9 5g and it feels way too early to upgrade again, but fairphone sounds like a great consideration for my next device.

Hopefully, they fix their camera API so that GCam works properly this time. Being stuck with the stock photo app was the only downside of version 4 imo.

I'm hoping for a 120 Hz OLED screen. That's my biggest reason for not getting a Fairphone 4.

@LaggyKar @uthredii For not being OLED or not being 120 Hz?
