If it was faster and the camera wasn’t shit I’d keep my 3 forever
It just sucks that at some point I’m going to buy a less fair phone because the fair ones don’t have the features I need.
Thats the eternal dilemma with these modular phones - you trade features for repairability and fairness, but at some point we all hit that wall where we need the feature more than the ethics.
their next article should be “how to maintain support of a fairphone 101” because I think they desperately need a refresher

My Fairphone 5 lasted all of six months.
I installed LineageOS on it, but then went back to stock when I realised my bank’s app didn’t work. All was good until the next OS update utterly bricked it - and I really mean bricked. Loads of people on the forums had the same issue, and apparently it’s happened many times before. It took well over a month for FP support to send an automatic reply to my messages, then another two weeks for them to tell me I’d be expected to pay for the repair. I ended up claiming on insurance and buying a Pixel, which happily jumps back and forth between stock and GrapheneOS.
So, how about “How to test a firmware update 101” or “How to support a phone 101” instead?
