Is it me or did they get slightly more vague on their marketing materials, wrt the environmental impact ( at least compared to fp5 ) ?
Also the battery seems a bit harder to replace, as you now need a screwdriver. It does appear to be more flush, so it may be due to size constraints.
Edit: and there's "more" replaceable parts because the back is split in two. That split might prove better for durability tho, because pulling the back on their older phones felt like it would break every time.
I don't mind having a few screws to remove every few years when I need to replace my battery.
Although there is another thing, I'm not sure but I wonder if it has any impact. My FP3 has made a few very bad falls and nothing ever broke. I wonder if its "bad" integrity makes it very good at dissipating the fall's energy.
