Unfortunately GrapheneOS only supports Pixels.

Buy them used to prevent the money from going to Google and donate the savings to Graphene.

I really want a FairPhone with e/os but can't justify buying a second phone hahaha

I have an iPhone that I use for my job - got it from my employer as well so it's basically a free phone. Personally, if it wasn't for my job, I'd delete all "social" media (IG and the likes), but it's the main part of my job (I work in online communications). Still would love a second, more privacy-based, personal phone, but doesn't feel like a possibility atm. Costs money as well!

Putting personal information on a work phone is a risky behavior. Most company phones are setup to give the company control over and access to everything on the phone.

Personally, I would never use a company phone for anything that isn’t for work.

Depends on what kind of company you work at. Most companies I know would just be: you need a phone, go buy one and give us a receipt.

Not all companies are big tech, and most companies likely can not afford the added cost of spying on employees.

Hey Europe, what about you sign that partnership with Mercosul so I can buy you damn stuff without having to pay 100% taxes on the price to import?

Shiftphone is a German alternative to Fairphone

Any of them run Linux or fully non-google android?

[-] Paularhion@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I bought the fairphone with Murena /e/OS already installed. I can't be happier with this choice.

I have a nothing phone 3 and very happy with it, it does everything you really want a smartphone to do, and looks stylish (imo) and has a really slick UI.

Downsides are camera is not good in low light and they push the AI stuff too hard.

And I'm not sure it quite justified the price tags when comparing it to Chinese or Samsung phones at a similar spec, but it's not way off and for me was easy to justify a slightly higher price tag for a British based design company and better repairability/rights as well as some cool features and looks.

But the price point is the one thing all these 3rd party phones suffer from, you either have to make a proper budget phone, or try and make a flagship, but will cost 20% more than a Samsung because of scale costs.

Let's not forget Crosscall. It's a french brand specializing in durable phones designed for outdoor.

I had a Fairphone 3, but ran into a lot of problems with the phone suddenly shutting down on its own. I hadn't fiddled with it at all, and I couldn't find much advice apart from "Try pulling it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together again".

I really love the concept though, but I'm worried my bank and government identification won't work on Fairphone now.

I use a Nothing phone, but they do have some weird ad-based stuff that's currently disabled by default, and could be made the default later.

I've had no problem with their products otherwise.

does anybody have experience with the Jolla C2 Community Phone?

the price is listed as 285€, which is about the maximum i'd be willing to pay for a phone. does the device work well? does it run smoothly? does the OS work well enough? (it's some custom linux-based OS with android app compatibility, they write on their website)
