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

    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.

    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.

    I thought the Fair phones had SD card slots? I skimmed through and didn't see any mention
