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.

What is their plan to provide long-term support? How long do they say they will support it? I had the FP1 and after a few years there were no more firmware updates from I think Qualcomm. Google eventually stopped supporting the chip for newer android versions, and fairphone didn't have the resources to do it on their own. Then there was a major security vulnerability. I don't remember which one, but basically remote code execution was possible just by visiting a website. With no updates for the FP1, it was unusable from then on for everything remotely private.
The hardware worked fine until the end, but this mess made it unusable. In comparison, my recently bought Pixel 9 gets updates until 2032.
Fairphone 6 will get updates until at least 2033
PS: A ton of questions in the comments here can be resolved by a simple web search...
The chip was made by MediaTek and Google just provides Android and usually no firmware support in the first place... So how exactly is this related to Google?
That sounds like a browser issue which is unrelated to the OS.
Uhm what did you expect from a 1st generation smartphone made in 2013? That the software will always be up-to-date even 10 years later?
FP1 and 2 were really bad compared to what the new models offer. They now use LTS chips designed for IoT devices and promise new Android versions and Updates for at least 8 years. Ive used a FP3 for many years before I sold it (it still recieves updates) and now happily use the FP5.
This is no longer the case for the Fairphone 6. It uses a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which is a regular SoC for mobile devices. I believe this is because Qualcomm finally extended support for these chips past 5 years.
