I got the Fairphone 6! It's good! I'm in the US, so I got it from Clove. Works fine on T-Mobile. Although, I'm currently running Android... Probably have to install e/OS or something. I hope Fairphone can continue to grow to eventually meet Graphene's hardware requirements. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Harmonics041@feddit.uk 3 points 7 months ago (8 children) Pixels are the best phones to buy since you can install GrapheneOS... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] paequ2@lemmy.today 5 points 7 months ago* Yeah...

I've a pixel 7a, and cannot install graphine without calling T-Mobile and convincing them to unlock it for me.

Seems great in theory but i haven't got one to test. Tickle those guys to get into phones too. Anyways there are very few companies now who actually respect right to privacy, repair, etc. Treat their employees like humans and don't shit on environment. permalink fedilink source parent
