Fairphone teams up with the developer of the /e/ Android fork to enable US sales.
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
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'm actually in Europe, so no need for that for me. But it doesn't have great specs, nor apparently great security, so I'm leaning towards a Pixel with GrapheneOS for my next phone.
I’ve been wanting to get this phone in Canada for a while. Hoping it will be up for sale here too.. or the next gen version
Oh shit WHAT? Thats dope! I'd been waiting for this, I guess I'll have to see how the next fairphone stacks up against the zenphone 10!
Interesting that the Co. thats owns Reddit is also getting their Condi magazine stories inside the Fedi.
