  • I just checked my phone and the up/down speed for files is roughly 40MB/s despite having a USB 3 connection.

    USB 2 has a max. transfer rate (under optimal conditions) of 60MB/s, so I think when the phone storage improves a bit or the cable is a bit longer it will likely become a bottleneck.

    Also note that there are other applications than transfering files which might need more bandwidth.

    To be fair it really doesn't make much of a difference but USB 3 is now the standard for a century and has been around since 2008 so I somewhere expect a 600€ phone to also have it.

  • Compared to the Fairphone 5 it has some improvements but also a few downsides:

    Pro:

    • It's a bit smaller (4mm) and lighter (20g)
    • Slightly better camera (future tests will tell how much better)
    • 120 Hz display
    • More RAM and storage (although I feel that the previous 6GB/128GB option was also sufficient for most users)
    • WiFi 6E Tri-Band (however you will likely never need this speed)
    • Bluetooth 5.4
    • Slightly larger battery

    Con:

    • Backpanel now requires a screwdriver
    • Display has less resolution/PPI
    • Performance of processor will likely be nearly identical to predecessor (however it's more efficient and modern)
    • Downgrade to USB 2
    • 600€

    My conclusion: Overall the improvements are ok, however just releasing the Fairphone 5 with a newer SoC might have been the better/more cost effective choice. Sacrificing display resolution for 120 Hz feels also quite wrong. 600€ is very pricy for a phone like this. Cutting some premium features away like the 120 Hz display or a bit of RAM and storage (that you can extend anyway with an SD card) might have saved enough to get the launch price down to somewhere near 500€ which would make it accessible for a wider audience.

  • Would be funny to know how the supposed 14TWh savings compare to the cost required to introduce/maintain these labels. And by costs I mean overall costs with everything related to it.

  • They have 5 models listed for Google

    Touché. However this doesn't change the fact that the interface is absolutely useless.

    When I'm searching for Google I just get the model ids:

    • GUR25
    • GEC77
    • GZC4K
    • GTF7P
    • G6GPR

    None of these phones have the word "Pixel" anywhere and I have to look the market name up on a 3rd party website.

    It's hundreds of cycles. So 1500 cycles.

    Seriously? Maybe they should include the unit of measurement or just print two extra zeros.

    Again these points just highlight that this utterly unusable for a normal user.

  • Whilst I get the idea the implementation is currently unusable:

    So I filtered for "Battery user-replacable" and found 117 smartphones (out of ~500). This is a straight up lie because all these phones are glued together (nearly all are IP68) meaning that you need some special tools.

    It lacks a lot of phone models. I couldn't find any Google Pixel or Fairphone.

    The "Battery endurance in cycles" (number of charge/discharge cycles a battery can withstand until its usable electrical capacity has reached 80 % of its rated capacity) attribute is completely broken: It never seems to exceed 15? I had phones for years that withstood hundreds/thousands of battery cycles and the battery still nearly behaved like it's new and you're telling me the maximum number is 15??? Did you guys just stop testing after 15?

    Also "with regard to energy labelling" what is this labelling about? Energy? Ok then why are there values about the phones "Repeated free fall reliability" or IP protection inside there?

    The whole thing looks way to intransparent and useless for the average phone buyer and definetly needs some improvement...

    General labelling about repairability/phone lifetime (e.g. receives updates for X years, replacement parts are avilable for X years, can install another OS, can replace battery without external tools, etc) without a overall score that merges all aspects would be a lot better and useful IMHO.

  • Last month I tried to unlock a Motorola phone. Guess what: There is no option to unlock the bootloader because it's one of the models that can't.

    The year before a Huawei phone: I had to disassemble half the device to shortcircut something while running a custom made software on the PC.

    Yeah now try to get an average user doing this... good luck.

    And I'm not even scratching the part where some of your devices hardware is not working properly because the closed source firmware is not available.

    A quick look at which recent phones (since 2022) can install LineageOS: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ Just 35 phones (Pixels exluded), including only a single Samsung phone!

    Now compare that to installing Windows/Linux on a PC where you literally plugin a USB and hit install...

  • Summary for people who don't like to read for 10 minutes:

    Only Google Pixels are currently affected

    from Calyx's post:

    • Google did not publish any device-specific source code for supported, modern Pixel devices.
    • In previous years, Google released full device trees alongside new Android versions. This allowed developers to build and boot AOSP on Pixel hardware relatively easily.
    • With Android 16, only the platform/framework code has been released. The device trees are missing, at least for now.

    So let's don't panic and just wait a few days until more information is available...

  • A yes, a public dns resolver funded by taxpayers money and nothing of it is open source...

    Sounds like a massive waste of money to me. Just give someone like Mullvad (they already have a DNS service that is open source) that money instead of trying to be another shitty DNS Resolver.

    Also the company behind this looks incredibly scummy and their products are mostly buzzword-bullshit. The whole company is based on selling a DNS blocklist for as much money as possible.

    Also: https://www.whalebone.io/aura-for-consumers

    People want to be safe online. They are even willing to pay for it. They just want their telco to offer them a smooth way to get there. Common cybersecurity products struggle with low adoption rates due to the need for downloads. Whalebone Aura requires no installation or updates and activates with a single click.

    That's sounds a lot like the ISP is implementing some kind of deep network inspection "to protect you from the internet"... aka censoring.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airship_accidents

    Apart from the 80% of the entries that are basically "Crashed during bad weather" - my personal highlights:

    ... breaks loose from its mooring during a storm and is blown over the English Channel; after sightings in Wales and Ireland and a brief touchdown in Belfast, the airship was blown out over the Atlantic Ocean and is never seen again.

    Zeppelin LZ 8 Deutschland II (brand new) is caught by a wind gust while being walked out of its hangar and damaged beyond repair after it smashes on the roof of the hangar.

    ... the airship, weighed down with gold and burgundy paint, reached 600 feet altitude before beginning an unplanned right descending turn, making a "controlled descent" into a garbage dump, impaling the blimp on a pine tree, coming down just a quarter-mile from the site of the Hindenburg's 1937 demise.

    ... suffers an intentional mid-air collision with a radio-controlled airplane.
