    Now, here's something cool. A bit ... different. I've just published a rather long, detailed, thorough review of the Fairphone 6 midrange smartphone, covering reasons for purchase and market competition, sustainability and repairability factors, specifications, data migration fron an older Android, required post-migration changes like removal of apps, permissions and similar, ergonomics with and without the protective cover on, position and feel of power and volume buttons, Switch flip, Fairphone Moments and Fairphone apps and associated problems, phone reset and second setup, major improvements following July patch, everyday use - browsing with Firefox and adblocking, 4K video playback in VLC, display and audio quality, camera, battery life and charging, various additional Android-related tweaks, some annoyances and bugs, long-term prospects, overall impressions, and more. Do take a look.

    Great review, thanks. Sounds like the kind of phone for me, too bad I probably couldn't get it in Canada. (Still using my Pixel 5)
