Fairphone is not perfect, but Fairphone.
That's my take on it, too.
It's far from perfect and costly for the hardware (but for understandable reasons), but hey, it's Fairphone. Rocking my FP4 here.
I have the same one. Works great and we can het repair parts whenever.
How's the software experience for your usage? I hear fairphone is slow with major updates and updates can be buggy.
I havent seen it. Theres an update just about every other month. Im currently sitting here downloading the newest version /e/ os 3.0 which released thismonth. I havent run into the bugs...but i usually wait a couple of weeks. Just best practice.
But if you dont want to use /e/ theres a huge selection of other OSes you can use. No need to stick with thiers.
I use Fairphobe 5 and iode. I am quite happy with it - have not run into any bugs at all. Just aurora store sometimes has a few problems - never bothered me enough to write a bug report(i don't know much about that sort of stuff).
Good to know. I had heard this complain with some fairphone users insisting not to buy one. Maybe, it was the default Fairphone ROM which had some egregious bugs.
That's a given the way it works. Not much you can do besides switch to the official play store or risk a ban by logging with your google account in it..
