sigh I wish Fairphone was easier to use where I live.
-
- None of them are GrapheneOS
- eOS is trash
- Fairphone is notoriously slow in regards to shipping security updates, making their phones unusable for anyone who cares about security and privacy (since without security, there can be no privacy)
-
Why is eOS trash?
-
I was wondering the same thing. I've been daily driving /e/OS for over a month now, and I've been really happy with it. And that's after I had bounced off of GrapheneOS at the beginning of last year!

I'm having a tough time deciding. On the one hand Pixel+GrapheneOS would probably be the most private and secure. On the other hand, Fairphone would be the easiest to repair.
I like doing things myself (up to a point) and not being at the mercy of some repair shop. I also don't want to buy another phone for a really long time.
Although the Trump regime is also a real threat....

If you plan on crossing the border or protecting the data on your phone when it's in cop hands, GrapheneOS is the only Android option, if you don't want to go GrapheneOS, an iPhone is legit a better option for security than any other Android (especially with DivestOS being dead and all)

Would you say this is relevant if you want to use Linux?

I eagerly await that day.

We can use the unofficial way such as through Clove UK that ships globally.

Oh, interesting. https://www.clove-technology.com/collections/smartphones-fairphone/products/fairphone-gen-6
Is this the original (Android) version directly from Fairphone? I know Murena sells the Fairphone too, but it seems like they preinstall /e/OS.
Is anyone using the Clove Fairphone in the US?
-
There's weird things though because they intentionally strip the Canadian language and region options out of AOSP and that causes some odd behaviour. Whenever I switch from my home towers to the ones around Nanaimo I get this odd message saying "Region changed to US, rebooting." And then the phone reboots.
A couple of times its gone into a complete bootloop and required reflashing because of this.
Also you have to use Australian English as the closest Canadian English.
At least, that's the e/OS experience on Fairphone 6. Still waiting for a release for postmarket
