I have a Fairphone and the biggest gripe I have with it is Android. I still can't believe Fairphone haven't read the room and provided and alternative privacy based option out of the box without having to flash firmware and risk bricking your phone. this is interesting

I use a Fairphone 4.

The Fairphone 6 can be ordered with Android or /e/OS .

The Fairphone (Gen. 6) now with privacy-first /e/OS

Stay in control of your data with /e/OS, a deGoogled Fairphone experience with all the functionality of Android, and none of the privacy concerns.

yeh I know but that means buying a new phone again. I'm on FP5 and probably won't buy another one cause they have missed the boat for too long on this and not listened to their users who have asked for a privacy based OS out of the box for years

I've been changing phones only each 6 years, so I might be ready to replace my Fairphone 4 when there's a Fairphone 8.

good for you. I had the FP4 before this and found it just slowed down and became annoying to use. granted part of that was down to me however when the camera stopped working completely I gave up on it. I don't want to spend hours rebuilding my phone and fiddling to make it work well but I do want privacy and you couldn't have both....but hopefully times are changing
