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..
