▲ 637 ▼ Just got a Fairphone 6, AMA (lemmy.ca) submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by lightrush@lemmy.ca to c/android@lemmy.world 331 comments fedilink hide all child comments Update 1 I see a framerate/refresh rate bug that occasionally locks the framerate at a low value upon unlock. Fixing it requires a lock/unlock cycle.

I've avoided FP because I wasn't sure the big three would support permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lightrush@lemmy.ca [S] 4 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Freedom. The only band it lacks for their Torontario network is band 13. I decided to risk it because Freedom used to run the network without band 13 until a few years ago. So I reason the coverage without it should be similar to the before time. That means a bit of a downgrade in signal and probably battery, given that band 13 is lower power, longer range fequency. But then again the FP's modem is Qualcomm so it may end up being more power efficient than the turd in my Pixel. So I decided to try it out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Awesome, thx!
