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?

    Ive had a couple of these. I find that the jack itself sometimes will not work or the audio is VERY bad. The last one I got was for 10$ and seemed to do the trick. But it took 3 tries to find an adapter that didnt have an issue.

    One I bought at wallmart, one at amazon, one at an audio-store. The final one was given to me and worked first try! I thought it was my usbc adapter until that point on my phone…but my steam deck had the same issues with the usb-c to audio jack.

    I wonder if companies are cheaping out with the components since its a small market. Audiophiles are going to default to using audio-jack. And consumers are just getting bluetooth whatevers. People that want ot direct connect usbc are not the norm. Or at least thats what it feels like to me.
