Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech and a more sustainable option - Lemmy.World

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile. For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

I saw an interview with Gäel Duval about /e/OS. It left a good impression of the software. It seems ready and supports banking apps. I’ll look into Jolla too. Thanks for the post.

how does it work with banking apps? does it fake the play integrity verification somehow?

I did a small amount of research and found that people were getting Swedish id and banking working out of the box a few years ago at least. 

I know this doesn’t answer your question on the play integrity API hacking but AFAIK they use a proprietary android layer based on LXC.

To me it feels dodgy and android changes could probably kill your banking capabilities on a whim so I’d be careful to use it as a daily driver.

that sounds fun! as I know, in my (least european) country if you start using the gov app for the gov portal authentication, you can’t go back to the other method.

but do I understand it correctly that you say e/OS uses an LXC containerized google package of something?

No, I meant sailfish which is the os jolla runs on.
