While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys’ opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

    I went with pixel 8 Pro and graphene os, but I did consider fp.

    Can you even use a new fp in the US?

      You can technically. But you might not get service in certain areas because it doesn’t have support for all of the US bands.

      I came really close to importing one until I found I couldn’t use 5g, and there’d be very little LTE support for T-Mobile.

      Ended up getting a Pixel 8, hopefully they can get it to the US sooner than they did the FP4.

      Ive been considering GrapheneOS. I only really use Banking, Android Auto and occasionally Maps from the play store (although I LOVE Organic Maps).

        Graphene doesn’t and won’t ever support android auto, sadly, it’s the only thing I miss

        Edit: well, that’s what they said, but now it’s optionally available!
