I think it's time for a new mobile phone, I'm leaning towards a fairphone but the nothing phone does interest me. Anyone have any input? #fairphone #nothingphone #phoneupgrade

I am happy with my FP3. I have had fp1 ans 2 before. The 3 is still so good (enough) that I am not buying the current modell. But i am considering the upgrade because it is No where near as good as today's tech.

I would love to learn about the nothing phone tough.

@thijs_lucas @OldTodger @WeAreFairphone if security and an up-to-date OS are part of your decision, here are some facts:

After I learned that you pay quite some money for a (technically) not too good device and their promise to exchange or even upgrade important parts (besides minor things) never got realized - I switched to the approach: buy more frequently used phones and install a proper OS on them: #GrapheneOS
(The installation is really easy, everyone can do that!)

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Pixel 6 and Fairphone 4 were both released in October 2021. Pixel 6 is currently on Android 16 QPR1 while the Fairphone 4 is still on the initial release of Android 13 from August 2022. Fairphone 4 received Android July 2025 security backports on August 6th, so it doesn't have the August or September High/Critical severity privacy/security patches. It's missing over 3 years of Low/Moderate severity patches not backported to older Android releases.
