OEM support.
So if a phone is fully 100% working but not OEM supported its unusable for you?
Hard to have a new phone and be 100% working. As cool as functionality is, it's hard to gain mass appeal when it relies on owning the device already or relying on the used market.
Well do i have good news! if you count the Fairphone 6 (Q2 2025) as new i soon have it 100% working if you look at my posts here.
And as soon as the FP6+ releases i will do that one aswell.
Im going to sell it preflashed too once i hit that 100%, so in the hope to get that mass market appeal.
Absolute legend!
Good luck mate.
