[โ] sidebro@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago* (2 children) I need to look into this. Fairphone seems a good option. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] Humanius@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (1 child) If you specifically want /e/OS, you need to watch out where you buy the Fairphone. There is two versions, with the regular Android (with Google services) version being the more common one. https://www.fairphone.com/nl/the-fairphone-gen-6-e-operating-system If you buy this one from their website you are guaranteed to get the /e/OS version Edit: Also worth noting that you could also unlock the bootloader, and install /e/OS on the regular Android version as well. You might be able to save โฌ 150-200 that way. To my knowledge you can relock the bootloader after you are done? You'd have to look into that yourself though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] chmod755@feddit.org 1 point 3 days ago (1 child) You're only saving โฌ50 and you lose your warranty... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Humanius@lemmy.world 1 point 3 days ago* Not sure if you can buy unlocked phones from 3rd parties where you live, but over here in the NL I can get a green one for โฌ511,- https://www.galaxus.nl/nl/s1/product/fairphone-gen-6-256-gb-bosgroen-631-sim-esim-5g-smartphone-57937990?offertype=retail&offerid=2705624 (They used to be under โฌ500 for all models, but the RAM shortage makes a fool of us all) Buying the /e/OS version from Fairphone directly is โฌ649.
