Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.

Anyways just wanted to share.

    If you get it direct from the distributor then it just runs basic Android so there's no reason it shouldn't.

    I got the us one. But yeah I hear you.

    Mint/T-Mobile works well in my area so that's a plus.

    might be a stupid question, but why wouldn't you be able to use it in the US, or any other country?

    Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.

    How is the situation with the boot loader? And when will it be real Linux compatible?

    If answers are β€œcan be unlocked” and β€œSoonℒ️”, I gotta get one

    How is the camera? The biggest thing locking me into Samsung is that every cheaper phone I've tried even cheaper fucking Samsungs, the camera is just pure ass slow sluggish, crashing.

    I want one. I just can't justify the expense while my old phone still works.
