I’ve bought one for my kid so far, the only problem I see is weak 4 (works, but does not show caller id) or no 5G support in Slovenia. Something that shouldn’t be hard to fix, but 🤷
I think it has to do with configuring for providers (even Pixels didn’t work initially, only after a while with an update).
Edit: Note that the situation could have changed since I’ve last checked - I’ll ask him what’s the status now.
You could keep the Pixel - you’ve already bought it, so that money has already found its way into Google’s coffers. If it works for you, you could flash a degoogled custom ROM, such as GrapheneOS, /e/OS or iodéOS. Pixels are excellent for this.
im using a fairphone with /e/os on it. way better than expected :3 (if u use the /e/os version, install lawnchair instead of the default launcher. thank me later)
Yes, it is. Not boycotting South Korea or anything, but it’s still nice to buy something European instead. Also my experience with Samsung was pretty mixed.
My Fairphone is on its way and should arrive today. Replacing my semi-broken Samsung Galaxy Flip 4. Let’s see how it goes!
i am currently using my new fairphone and loving it.

Fairphone 6 or an earlier model? That’s surprising if the 6 doesn’t work with Slovenia’s 5g network, as it supports all the necessary bands.
Considering getting a fairphone. I do like my pixel but I want out of big tech and US companies

Or Niagara Launcher. Is this possible? Its awesome.
Dumb question, but Samsung is Korean, not American, no?
Yes, but this remains the BuyEuropean comm, not the BoycotAmerica comm

Fair point.
