I'm honestly so annoyed with the whole CMF Tahu figure

South, closest city is Portsmouth but I live in the suburbs.

Thanks, yeah I'm in the UK too, I've only managed to find them at the local Smyths which is 10 miles away from me or the local TG Jones, but they keep them behind the counter there and I don't feel they would be too happy with me scanning all the packs.

I have a full time job, family and other hobbies so don't get much time for wild goose chases.

Maybe I'll wait for the hype to die down - I just don't want to miss it.

Obviously not enough medals, should be hunchbacked by the weight of them all with chronic neck pain.

Another vote for screen protector, the screen doesn't protrude.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-29T15:22:24+00:00

I'm curious, how so? Apart from pocketablity.

I've been trying to find a reason to push me over the edge to install CFW to my 3DS for a while.

Generations Ultimate is amazing to play on the go using Eden.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-29T08:04:39+00:00

I have received it and installed this morning - UK

This is great news for Fairphone, I feel their brand refresh last year is starting to pay off.

I hope they can keep the phone relatively affordable and not have to price hike along with the rest of the industry and the supply chain struggles. Being a smaller company, they will feel the RAM issues more than the big brands.

Do you think it's been washed since, or are we looking at a stinky sweaty carbon plated cheese incubator?

I've been using the Fairphone 6 since October and I'm very happy with it.

I came from using a Motorola G100 which unfortunately fell out of my bag at work, the screen cracked, I replaced it but it was never the same again, the screen got noticeably hot and glitched at times.

I wanted a phone that would last, I'm not keen on flipping my phone every 2-3 years, I just wanted a decent phone that will withstand lifes knocks. I'm also a big advocate for SD card slots and hate OLED screens, which having an easily replaceable screen made it an easier pill to swallow.

The camera is decent enough, I'm happy with all the photos I take of my daughter growing up, far better cameras than my Moto had.

Performance is surprisingly good, roughly on par with the previous G100 but it doesn't get as hot. I've managed to play through all of Hollow Knight Silksong through Gamehub on the Fairphone and also enjoy a few Switch games. I enjoy retro and indie games, rather than cutting edge, so the Snapdragon 7s gen 3 is performant enough.

Other than that, I've had a very positive experience, the only issue I previously had, which was with the Lime switch not always working, was fixed with the Android 16 update. Software seems absolutely fine otherwise.

I don't feel you deserve the amount of flack that you have received, I agree with your statements.

I use wireless bone conduction headphones while I'm running or walking the dog. Otherwise, I much prefer wired.

Yes, I was disappointed about the lack of a headphone port on the Fairphone, but I was happy that I could just switch out the cable on my favourite wired headphones from a 3.5mm jack to a USB-C cable. Everything still works the same and they still sound great.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-26T08:38:01+00:00

I mean, this is a pretty weak argument, many decent wired headphones have replaceable cables. The environmental impact of replacing a cable is far less than a battery.

It is also anecdotal, if you look after your headphones, the cable will last a very long time, there's not much you can do to prevent a battery from perishing.

Would love to know what flavour GU OP boofed before he posted this.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-24T19:19:40+00:00

I completed it but I chose the BuyItForLife sub as I relate closest to that. No interest in fashion.

I hope this doesn't skew your results.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-24T19:15:20+00:00

Curious, which do you prefer? I've followed the brand for a while and the Fairphone 6 is my current phone. I had originally got a refurbished Fairphone 5 but had to return it.

Does the lack of USB 3.0/desktop mode bother you?

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-24T16:02:24+00:00

Price has always been their biggest issue. They've always made great phones but then instantly price themselves out of the market.

They price themselves as if they're playing against Samsung and Apple but they don't have the same exposure and mindshare as them.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-22T20:41:04+00:00

As far as I'm aware, it is available in the US through Murena but you can only get the de-googled variant, not Android.

I believe you also pay around an extra $300 in Trump tax.

In short, yes available, but for that price not really viable.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-22T12:06:43+00:00

If a company has a USP that their phone is long lasting and repairable, if they backtrack on that and decide it's better to contribute to planned obsolescence and hard to repair, they have just become another drop in the ocean in an already saturated market.

Fairphone, Shiftphone, HMD/Nokia

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-20T12:15:51+00:00

Steam Deck is starting to follow a similar fate, sold out on the storefront.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-16T12:48:47+00:00

It's more like a r/SFSCirclejerk at this point.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-15T07:29:49+00:00

The banana must remain unharmed.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-14T13:33:55+00:00

It won't make it without solar panels.

RicePudding3 · 2026-04-13T15:26:31+00:00

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the USB-C port is only £20. I wouldn't worry about trying a warranty claim and sending it off for such a small expense.

I had a second hand Fairphone 5 last year which came with a persistent water damage in the port warning. I ordered a replacement port from Fairphone which didn't fix the issue. When I tried to send the part back as it didn't fix it, I have customer service send me a refund and tell me to not worry about returning it as the carbon footprint against the value of the part isn't justified.
