I don’t think it’s worth it. A lot of these issues are well known on the Fairphone forums so they’re clearly not specific to my phone. The second I find a suitable replacement I think I’m done. I like the idea of a Fairphone but they’re on their sixth device now and still can’t manage stable software.

Fairphone 6, stock Android 15.

I might have to give it a try. I used CalyxOS on my old Pixel 7 and loved it so I’m hoping that will be an option once they’re back up and running.

I don’t think it’s expecting a phone to not crash constantly and actually save the photos I’m taking.

Sometimes after using the camera, the taken photos will just disappear.

Often my screen will freeze up and the ohone becomes entirely unresponsive until I turn the screen off and on again.

Sometimes the screen won’t even turn on at all and will then suddenly unlock and register every single swipe and tap I made on the off screen registers at once.

Then sometimes when idle the phone will just randomly crash and reboot.

A genuinely awful experience I have to say.

Let’s hope the growth means the software improves. I’ve never owned such a buggy phone. I would never be able to recommend anyone I know actually buy one and it’s pretty difficult to keep using it myself. I’m really hoping the upcoming Android 16 release fixes a lot of bugs but if past Fairphones are anything to go by I’m not expecting much.
