I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    That’s cool. Let me know when it gets support for GrapheneOS and finds it’s headphone jack again.

      The answer is likley never, GOS devs dont trust Fairphone devs (due to poor security practices) and Fairphone devs are unwilling (in some cases unable) to meet the extremely high standards for GOS.

        Doesn’t that basically equate to “yep, this is an android phone?”

          Yup. My current one is dying and I’m using it almost always wired to a charger or battery. I don’t care how badly they try to waste my battery, I’m not buying a new Android phone ever. If this one dies, I’m prepared to not use a phone until there’s a reasonably priced Linux phone.

            Just replace the battery then. Most phone shops have the ability and tools to do it in about an hour to 3 hours.

        I’d just install another OS to begin with. But again, I’d reaaally like it to be GrapheneOS. And then again, Pixels also come with all that crap (and much more) enabled by default.
