I have an FP3 and I facepalmed real hard when I saw the announcement. That last reason, vulnerability to dust and protection from water, I find especially dumb. If that’s their reasoning, they might as well remove the USB-C port, too. Fuck it, just make it a featureless plastic brick.
Fellow FP3 user, cannot see myself getting a new phone at all in the near future. When this eventually falls out of support I’ll probably go all-in on a custom rom, instead of just rooting.
The FP3 was the closest thing to my previous S5 too, and even then I was giving up some creature comforts like the IR, waterproofing and OLED screen. That thing was ahead of it’s time by a long shot IMO
Well don’t say it too loud, if there is any big improvements on “wireless” charging… I could see the mainline of phones doing it…
And it would be sold as “less cable waste” while the lower efficiency of wireless charging more than makes up that “cable waste” in environmental impact.
