[–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 13 points 3 years ago (1 child) A bit late. It's more that two years old, and it's based on a SoC that was a year old when it was launched permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] unix_joe@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 years ago (2 children) It's still a good phone. But if you can wait, Fairphone 5 will be out in September; this new partnership means it should be available in the US, with five year warranty, shortly thereafter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago Damn. If the FP5 has a decent camera and video out, I will buy it. I drool over the idea of a phone with fully open source Android ROM (or if/when Linux+Gnome mobile is ready) that I can turn into a full desktop when docked. And I want the manufacturer to enable me to do this, and not try to block me from doing it. I dream of Mobile Arch + Gnome + Waydroid, but I guess banking & payments will forever be out of the question. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LaggyKar@programming.dev 2 points 3 years ago I'm actually in Europe, so no need for that for me. But it doesn't have great specs, nor apparently great security, so I'm leaning towards a Pixel with GrapheneOS for my next phone. permalink fedilink source parent
