love fairphone but i cant go bacl from graphene os. its so nice not having google attacjed to everything.

I wish I could ditch stock android but my business bank app refuses to run on e/os and I assume I'd have the same problem with graphene.

e/os was otherwise soo much better, and the increase in performance and battery life was huge.

If you want something not Google, I used to have Ubuntu Touch on a Fairphone before Australia's 3G network was switched off. It would have to be an older Fairphone however.

a few things i like:

  • moments is an interesting concept
  • it says you can toggle off gemini ai. this is good
  • display goes from 10-120hz for battery
  • ultrawide selfie camera
  • microsd card slot!
  • power button fingerprint scanner, way better than underscreen

OTG compatible is a rare feature, I have an endoscope camera that uses OTG, but not a compatible phone.

Also, no mention of a headphone jack.

Was really hoping to see a Fairphone 6a. Similar to the Google Pixel Series. Just a cheap version of it. I really don't need 120Hz, OLED or "No Bezels" all i want is big battery and a headphone jack that is all.

tbh 600$ is a series pricing.

I bought an oled phone for 200€ a few years back. What I'd really want is that every smartphone sold in the EU is open, with open drivers and OS with root access if you want to. And some investments by the EU to support open smartphone OS.

What a shithole civilization.
