    i do think 6+ is more of an incremental upgrade and i dont need it. my phone works great, pretty much the only games i play on my phone are via steamlink or retroarch.

    i had the fp5 imported into the US, but when my usb started wearing out and i tried to get a new one it was a huge pain to get here. decided to get the 6 bc they actually sell parts here.

    im slightly worried theyll do something like partner with postmarketos and make the 7 work flawlessly under linux at launch. it would be a great thing, but damn guys give me a reason to not buy the next model! lol

      Sell it or give it to a family member so they can see that the data parasites are the reason they have to charge their phones every day.

        Using Lemmy for most of the work day I’d why I need to charge my nearly 5 year old FF4 most days. Kinda curious what the battery capacity is like compared to new as I only got it a few months ago second hand.
