I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

        I miss my pixel 4a dearly. Found it in the old phone box the other day and couldn’t believe how little it was.

        Main reasons I stopped buying Fairphones:

        • too big
        • focus on fair-trade (fair enough) but not on free operating systems
        • sustainability: by the time my FP2 partially broke (USB charger port), they were no longer selling spare parts

        Other than that - it’s a great company and a team of good people.
