i like the idea of a fairphone. i dun wana buy one tho - if it doesn hav the features i need/wan.
if fairphone had all dis stuff - it would hav a genuine moat, besides the sustainability stff-

Maybe supporting more US-based carriers would hook me.
However, I applaud their efforts in addressing modern slavery and child slavery in their supply chains and manufacturing.
It is rampant, and buying many forms of technology are supporting those supply chains.
What I want from fairphone:
- Take security and long-term support seriously
Wait, you can’t put a custom rom on a fairphone? Is it literally just pixels these days that let you?
no, its also fairphone. i didntention that in the post - they alrdi do thad
They don’t support avb-yellow, but to be fair, almost nobody apart from Google does, OnePlus used to (until 8).

I just want a home button :(
If people, not only lemmy’s people and a small minority care about the jack people would buy phones with jacks, there are good options but very few people do.
Most people actually like and prefere bluethooth.
Same for ROMs, when was the last time you said “wow, I sure miss custom roms” and the whole room went “meeetooo”. Hell, most people don’t even know what a custom rom is.
This is not what “the people want” is “what lemmy thinks everyone ones, but is actually only them circle jerking”.
Downvote me to hell, but is the truth.
Headphone jacks are less important to me than other features but that doesn’t mean I don’t want one. I have to use a stupid USB to headphone adapter thingy to use my headphones and I cant charge it while I do, which yes, is a thing I wanted to do a few times.
i said in the post “to get me interested”, not “to get the majority of people interested”.
It says clearly down to the right “Focus on features people want”.
Well i know a lot of people irl who miss the headphone jack and none are lemmy users and not all are nerds
Been using Fairphone 5 with /e/OS and I’m fully content with it. I’m sure your critique is fair, and they could do better on several fronts. Still I’m very happy to support this company, and I’ve not seen anything on the market that seems to do better overall than fairphone, according to what I value that is. It feels good to contribute to ‘an alternative’. I can’t help but see regular smartphones as a disease that try to colonize your brain and reduce you to a remote-controlled zombie. I don’t feel that way with the Fairphone. I see most of it’s limitations as a blessing in disguise. None of this is to refute anything you’re saying, it’s just trying to balance it out with some genuine love for Fairphone. :)
Fairphone with graphene os and headphone jack would be awesome.
Also I like your drawings and art style/visualization.
aww thanksies <3 <3 <3 <3
I want a phone completely untouched by Google. No Google hardware, no upstream Google dependencies at all. Hardware that I control and a more “traditional” flavor of Linux with a mobile-native DE.
I would love to have an immutable easy to upgrade system similar to unblue aurora or bluefin, but based on Postmarket os, but with extra security like SE Linux a proper firewalls flatpak support hardend_memory alloc etc. And also Good container support.
Aswell as a way droid version with a few features of graphene os like per App network toggle aswell as storage and contact scopes Sandboxed Google play etc.
And then with a mix between the Sony Xperia 1 VII and a fairphone 6. Such a phone would be awesome.
On a different note the progress the post market is team is making is really promising who knows maybe Linux on a phone will be daily drivable in a few years.
hopefully that is possible soon. i want it too

Btw, umidigis with the same CPU sell for ~145€ on AliExpress. This is just extreme.
Yes, and missing powerful flagship CPUs.
Accessory are optional Custom Roms are possible and already in the works (and /e/ already available.) that is more a community thing. Headphone jack is a feature that has a (i suspect) minority that tends to be real loud. I had my Fairphone 3 for almost 5 years and i am not sure if i ever used the headphone jack. Dual Sim is possible with E-Sim, plus SD card. Dual Sim with SD card takes a lot of space. Fairphone moments switch is already customizable to: DnD, flight mode, flashlight, dark-/ light mode, batery saving mode. Not sure what you mean by firm USB 3.0 is a sad decision which doesnt affect me personally but would have been great to have for DP alt mode. For moving files i use Quickshare cause it is much more convenient.
Finally gets a decent proc to match it’s midrange price
Still only 256GB option
Downgrades to USB 2.0
Maybe by FP 10 they’ll finally get it right
I’d trade their dumb accessories for a qi2 magnet. Stop trying to make a new ecosystem when a universal ecosystem exists around qi2
ooooooh!!! i thought that was some apple proprietary bs stuff - but apparently not - cool! <3
I think it originated with Apple, but it was accepted as the standard.
I like this new look on Apple, they contributed partly to USBc and partially to qi2
Actually, the magnet stuff (not the actual wireless charging) is an Apple thing, but—as far as I know—it is still free to be used.
Ya. You can get cases that have the magnets inside so you can use the same accessories.

Exactly
I straight up refuse to ever buy bt headphones. I never really had a desire to use them, and having them as the only option pisses off some deep part of my soul that hates the power being exerted for such a selfish reason.
I just don’t listen to audio on my phone without playing it through a wireless speaker, or playing it through the built in speaker(in private of course). I honestly don’t miss it, instead finding other ways to pass the time around other people.
I’ve been forced to resort to them since it seems pin on my power port that handles audio signal has failed.
I hate playing stuff I’m listening to on speakers, even in private, I just always feel like someone else might be around, and I don’t want to annoy them, or even worse, have them judge me. It just makes me uncomfortable.
As a firm believer in wired headphones: you can buy an adapter to plug your 3.5mm in the USB-C. IMO it’s not ideal, but they’re small pieces and you can keep them connected to your headphones at all times, so you don’t even have to think about bringing them with you.
Personally, I made a 3.5mm jack non-negotiable for my phone, which severely limited my options. Next time I’ll probably have to get an adapter… :(

You do realize that playing music on anything but a tiny speaker requires more power than BT+headphones? Even playing it loud in the built-in speakers can be note wasteful than later versions of Bluetooth.
Bluetooth transmission power costs are insignificant. But you don’t need to justify preferring the option to have regular wired earbuds on a phone.
well played
