Does the Fairphone gen. 6 support Desktop Mode / external displays over USB-C?

So sad. 🙁 Nice and clean design but it’s clearly a downgrade in some places. At least FP5 is not obsolete, it’s just an alternative to FP6.

Despite all the other compromises with the FF6, I still was ready to buy it until I noticed the USB-C 2.0. Which means no Android Desktop and significantly slower data transfer than the USB-C 3.0 in FF5. The linked Discussion thread from the Fairphone forum has some interesting additional points.

Is this a dealbreaker for you? (It is for me, I’m ordering a different phone today…)

    That’s super fair! I totally see that Fairphone is more of a brand for people who are a bit more minimalist with their phone, hope that maybe one day there will be a Fairphone for power users with specs closer to what Google Pixel offers (a girl can dream haha)
