Just for info

It will also support mainline Linux (like the pinephone) as the patches have already been submitted: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fairphone-6-Linux.
I suppose the Ubuntu Touch port will be Halium based but it is certainly nice anyway. -

@Keneda seems like a great device! But I feel like FP5 only recently got added to supported devices. What is the expectation for FP6? Will it take a long time before UT can be installed on it? I ask because I planned to buy a FP5, but now I don't know if I should wait a bit and move to the 6 immediately.

@rdfrs
It took 2 years for FP5 to reach device page with for now "only" devel channel.
So I would expect the FP6 takes the same time.This thread is for info only, FP5 is cheaper pristine, can be found even cheaper used, and the FP6 don't have more ram (8GB) or rom (256GB) than the "big" FP5.
It's quite the same phone in definitive, I don't think a more recent Qualcomm middle class SoC will make Ubuntu Touch better, even the 120hz of the FP6 OLED screen will not make the 90hz of the FP5 OLED one outdated.
If you want a Fairphone with UT now, get the FP5.

@Keneda thanks for the advise!
