I am currently using the Fairphone 6 with e/OS and I am very happy with it.
Not a heavy phone user though, as in I don't really take pictures or play hardware heavy games etc, so I wouldn't know how FP6 competes on those fronts.
But for everything else it has worked really well!
Thanks for replying. I don't play games. I'm definitely a light phone user however I like to take photos when I'm out hiking/biking. This Motorola actually takes good photos, even though it's a "budget" phone, so I'd like something equal or better.
Looking at the hardware it almost seems like they are using the same rear camera:
Motorola:
50 MP Sony Sensor - LYTIA ® 700C f/1.8 Blende 1 µm Pixelgrösse | Quad-Pixel-Technologie für 2 µm Quad PDAF Optische Bildstabilisierung (OIS) 13 MP Kamera mit Ultra-Weitwinkelobjektiv (120° Sichtfeld) Macro Vision f/2.2 Blende 1,12 µm Pixelgrösse PDAF 10 MP Teleobjektiv 3x optischer Zoom f/2.0 Blende 1,0 µm Pixelgrösse PDAF Optische Bildstabilisierung (OIS)
FP6:
50MP Sony Lytia 700C sensor, 1/1.56", 1.0μm pixel size Quadpixel Autofocus, 10 cm minimum focusing distance, time of flight sensor Up to 10x digital zoom Optical (OIS) image stabilization Ultra Wide camera: Image sensor: 13MP, 1/3.06", 1.12μm pixel size ƒ2.2 5 elements Autofocus, Macro Mode, 2.5cm minimum focusing distance, time of flight sensor Electronic (EIS) image stabilization
But I am no expert, I'm sure there are differences due to software.
Hey, thanks!
I didn't think to check HW specs. Not very clever.
so ... thanks. again :))
My pleasure!
Ah damn, I messed up the formatting, but I think the info is discernible. They seem to be similar
But not comparing the FP6's camera with other phones: How happy are you with yours? Do you like the photos?
I'm not one for taking pictures, so I can't really comment on that, sorry.
What I can say, compared to my previous phone (Iphone 14), is that the front camera is a little worse than that of the Iphone 14. I notice it during Video Calls.
Not camera specific, but it's maybe worth mentioning that it sometimes also runs into small issues. For example it will sometimes not connect to my WiFi and I'll have to restart the phone in order for it to connect again. Not a big issue, since it restarts quite fast, but for someone coming from a well established phone brand it might be a little irritating. (And it also might just be a problem for me specifically)
But these downsides are well worth it (for me) in order to have a more privacy focused mobile and also not be supporting big American Tech Companies.
