I'm super happy to share, that the #Fairphone (Gen. 6) was just announced, and we've been able to already publish a lot of code for it!

* #postmarketOS support is submitted
* 59(!) patches were sent to bring up upstream #Linux on the SM7635 SoC and enable the device.
* The stock Android source code is public on code.fairphone.com

This has been a lot of work over the last couple of months so it's awesome to finally be able to share it!

@wrenix Not yet :) I hope to be able to work on those sometime soon, but there's some more important bits not working yet like internal storage and GPU so those come first. You can see what works or doesn't work right now here: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/The_Fairphone_(Gen._6)_(fairphone-fp6)

@z3ntu @wrenix Are there severe obstacles to camera/sound, or is it a "simple matter of programming" to transfer e.g. blobs/configuration from Android?

@tonyg @z3ntu does the FP6 has really no DisplayPort over USB-C ? (And a downgrade to USB-C 2.0)

And another factor of battery which make it still not switch able between FPx

Slower CPUs (okay smaller also 4nm)
