I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too (www.androidcentral.com)

I bought an HMD Pulse Pro which is also made to be repairable. They have a partnership with ifixit.

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

Sony is the only available manufacturer of phones that still makes something that feels smaller, albeit only on one plane since theyre just less wide. I really enjoy it, but something even smaller like the z3 compact would be great.

I want GrapheneOS more than repairability, personally. I hope the Fairphone + GrapheneOS combination is possible some day...

The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

I just bought a refurbished (as new) Pixel 9 to use Grapheneos.

Saved ~50% and didn't pay Google.

Genius! That is exactly how I buy my slaves

This is a big issue that the fairphone doesn't have its dtb open yet. It's not easy to build ROM for it. Despite their core claim of sustainability, without addressing the blobs, it remains just a tad more convenient for green minded people. We need a full Fairphone.

And besides that, fairphone is just greenwashing when it comes to repairability, good luck finding parts for previous generations.
