I am looking at getting one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 reaches EOL. Hopefully the Fairphones are still around by then and hopefully they get more support from custom ROMs. I know CalyxOS supports the Fairphone 4

    I had a FP2 that lasted maybe twice as long as an unfair phone. Played a game on it that seemed to be too much for the processor/RAM. I bought a FP3 just after the new camera for it came out. It’s starting to show similsr signs of processor/RAM issues. Thing is I haven’t used the FP3 nearly as much and all my gaming is on tablets now. I’m unsure if I can justify buying another heavily expensive phone like this. Maybe a used one for me instead?

    I do love the repairability tho and how it tries to be Eco and socio friendly. Installing lineageOS was super easy and I love not having google know my every move (I get adverts in Greek and … Russian? Now as well as stuff for Muslims, I think they really don’t track me well anymore.) It’s probably also the only smart phone customer service who understands and was helpful when I wanted to know how to responsibly deal with a broken cover for the FP2.
