Fairphone 5
positives:
negatives:
I do not think this word means what you think it means.
Inconceivable!
I got an FP5 just a few months ago, very happy. Currently running E-Os on it. Big upgrade on the FP3 that it replaced. Liked the 3 but it was getting way to slow. It's not very expensive, considering it's fairtrade!
The performance is perfect, and who can say no to support until 2031😃
Edit: the best feature of a Fairphone is the high horse it comes with😉
You’re more morally superior to me in that regard.
Oh being smug/on the high horse about being woke, I like it :D
and yeah Support until 2031 is damn nice. After that period I probably will use PostmarketOS and turn it into a linux phone
The SECOND Fairphone starts shipping to Canada, I'll buy one...
You could probably still get one via a shipping forwarder
Yea, I've looked at that. The issue is when I break it - and I always break my phones. I wouldn't be able to quickly fix my phone because I'd need to order the parts via a shipping forwarder. I use my phone for work and going a couple of weeks without a device isn't viable.
Question.
I’m seriously considering fairphone or anything similar (if it exists), for my next replacement.
They advertise two versions. One degoogled but £100 more.
How easy is it to just do it yourself? Is it just software?
as I didn't it myself yet I can't tell you how easy it is. But it seems that in the case of /e/os you can use an installation programm (available for linux/windows/macos): https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer (its also available for fp5: https://e.foundation/leaving-apple-easy-installer-is-now-available-for-fairphone-5/)
i will wait for fairphone 6
