    I couldn’t be happier than with my Fairphone. Of course, I ditched the original firmware and went for something more lean and privacy-focused.

    It has lots of storage which I also extended with micro SD. Now I have my whole music collection for offline-listening.

    I can even turn the phone completely off by pulling the battery.

    If you complain about your FP, you may wanna try flashing /e/OS or CalyxOS (once they are back) or GrapheneOS (They will port it, soon for the device).

      Any source on the grapheneOS? Because everything that I’ve read about it says that fairphone just doesn’t meet the hardware requirements for graphene’s security models

        Maybe I’m wrong about the GrapheneOS. I have no specific source in regards to FairPhone. However, they announced Graphene to be ported to several devices. (It had been Google Pixel exclusive, until now.)

          The grapheneOS team has stated repeatedly that the fairphone does not meet the requirements for GrapheneOS, they are currently working with a hardware partner to bring GrapheneOS to a (supposedly) new device. This is most likely not fairphone because

          1. Fairphone is not selling worldwide, the annoucement mentioned a worldwide partner
          2. Fairphone does not mean the Hardware rwquirements and (arguably more importantly because it is harder to fix) the software requirements. They do not have timely enough upgrades.
