Is the microphone working? Last i heard they were firmware incompatibilities

$650 is way more reasonable than the previous $900.
Worth considering.

If that doesn't work, that wouldn't be exclusive to the U.S. right?

I am getting this after I am sick of my broken pixel 7a.

I do wish they provide better software update though, Android 15 is two versions behind current version :( .

Ships with 16.
17 only just released.
And they promise software support through 2033. Though that's a vague term, not sure about full version updates.

Nice. Will be a strong contender for my next phone.

With the direction in which Android is developing, I don't think you'd be missing out on a whole lot of worthwhile features. I'd rather have a steady stream of security patches on a version that is not yet EOL.

If it's cheap, it isn't fair and a worker is being paid peanuts.

The extra $250 was being charged by a US reseller.
With Fair Phone selling direct to the US now, it's available for MSRP.
I can't say how "cheep" $650 is to you.

I didn't mean to imply such a thing. But to answer your question: maybe yes. There are batches and hardware issues can correlate to these.

from the fairphone 6+ specifications page under "operating system":

Six major Android updates promised, until 2032

looks promising to me!

Oh yah! That's great!
