i'm using a fairphone 4, i'm pretty happy with it.
i like their goals of sustainability and repair friendly builds. i just got a security android update yesterday, although the one before was quite a few months ago, so it's not as frequently updated as it was in the first few years
Yeah I'm getting a 4 here in a bit and it's still supported. And should be able to get parts for at least 3 more years.
oh wow, why not a 6?
4 has cheaper parts overall and looks like other OSes are going to support for a long time. And they already removed the bugs in the 4. I dont buy new phones until about a year out when they are thoroughly tested. Its also significantly cheaper to buy the phone outright. I cant afford the 6 in the US. Way too expensive.
I got bit a couple of times with Terracube and their "promises". The phone literally fell apart in my hand. Glue came loose and parts stopped working after a while. Worst of all, no software updates for years.
