Despite all the other compromises with the FF6, I still was ready to buy it until I noticed the USB-C 2.0. Which means no Android Desktop and significantly slower data transfer than the USB-C 3.0 in FF5. The linked Discussion thread from the Fairphone forum has some interesting additional points.

Is this a dealbreaker for you? (It is for me, I’m ordering a different phone today…)

    Same, I wish they did a pro model with a proper flagship processor. I’d happily pay much more for that option though they probably don’t have the resources to do 2 phones at the same time. The one in the FP6 seems decent but I’m concerned if it can actually last 8+ years with how bloated apps seem to keep getting. I’m not a power user but my current phone (S20 FE) is inconsistent with loading things and is supposedly on par with FP6’s processor. Hopefully more reviews come out that give more insight into this
