Samtime tries out a Fairphone 6 running Ubuntu Touch and it seemed pretty fine. Noted issues were the second camera not working, GPS/Map app being a bit weird, and imo, the screen showing all the apps you have open is terrible. But with the reg app store and waydroid, I think it could be almost managable to use.
My mom is a battery life fiend though, so that part she won’t let go of. What’s your thoughts?
Invest in a DAC instead of a cheap dongle.
Will sound better too. A cheap FIIO or even Apple dongle sounds noticeably better, more power delivered.
I’m ok without the jack I think unless they’re going to also pair it with a high quality internal DAC like Sony.
I’m using my Fiio DAC right now, I have to keep the volume down to a minimum level or I’ll blow out my ears. Using it was murder on the battery on my old iPhone 15 but it doesn’t seem to be an issue on my Pixel 8 Pro with GrapheneOS.
Yeah, it’s a compromise if you need to charge, but it’s not nearly as big a deal as you’d think.
