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?

    Just connect USB-C headphones

    Not everyone happens to have a pair lying around, and this doesn’t really work for IEMs and the like.

    or use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle.

    I’ve yet to find a dongle that lasts more than around half a year of frequent use before starting to break. If you have any recommendations, that would be greatly appreciated.

        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.
