I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/43965516 > It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile. > > For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    Personally, I’d love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.

    They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).

    They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.

    Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn’t include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).
