@meraord Yup! Canadian, here; over the past decade my partner & I have owned three Fairphones (a 3+, 4, & 5) and really enjoyed them all.
I'm still using my Fairphone 4, which I got in 2022, & it's still working great. Fast & bright w/lots of storage, & I switched it over to e/OS in '23.
The durability is wild: I've procrastinated getting a protective case or screen protector, but despite dropping it lots over 4 yrs I've only just recently (Jan '26) given the screen its very first crack.
@meraord What I love most (aside from the sustainability of the materials & manufacturing used to make it, & that I can take it FULLY apart with just a *Phillips screwdriver*) is that my FP4 is still on its (free!) manufacturer warranty until _July of 2027!_🤩
Absolutely bonkers, in the best of ways.

@meraord I have the FP 6 with e/OS from Murena since 5 month. There's nothing to complain from my side.
The apps I need are available (2FA, pw manager, messenger, VPN etc.) and working as expected.
Pictures from the Cameras are good, but I'm not a camera expert to give a profound feedback on that.
I appreciate the privacy approach from e/OS. Happy to get rid of Meta, Google and MS.
The only point I discovered is that the FP doesn't work with every USB-C charging device (e. g. original Samsung)@mesiverse2000 FP stands for...?
-
@meraord yes, good enough for me.
@Kalle27 thank you.

@meraord Sorry, FairPhone

@mesiverse2000 Oh! I thought you meant some special feature that the fairphone has. Thank you!

@meraord Re. the camera, I've found that the FP4 has a more-than-decent camera which (oddly) I've had more trouble with since switching to e/OS. The non-Google software doesn't seem to focus as accurately & struggles with motion correction, but is still a better than the FP3+ post-camera-module upgrade.
The camera on my partner's FP5, however, completely outclasses my FP4 even at its best, & I'd imagine the FP6 continues that.
(we use their camera for any "fancy nice pics" we're taking
) -
@anderslund Do you use it as your camera? How happy are you with the photos?
In my opinion (Fairphone 4 user with the Fairphone android OS) don't buy the Fairphone if you're very interested in getting a high-end phone camera.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the photos, but compared to other phones, it's not the best. I've attached a few examples that I'm happy with.
Other than that, I prefer the ease of repair and commitment to longevity (software updates etc) over weight.
And especially the ethical sourcing of materialsCc @anderslund

@folfdk Thank you, that is my struggle. One side, wanting good photos - the other side, wanting ethical sourcing of materials, ease of repair, commitment to longevity and less... spyware. @anderslund

)@GoodNewsGreyShoes Just to make sure: Have you been able to activate the native Fairphone camera app on your FP 4️⃣ ? This is not the /e/OS default camera app and needs to be activated in Settings > Apps (see https://community.e.foundation/t/feedback-for-v2-4-1/61882/24?u=urs_lesse). It might only be available in the "official" /e/OS version (not in the "community" version). /u

@LeoR1010 @meraord Riktigt många bra svar, därför tänkte jag röra om i grytan lite. Har du kollat in Shift phone? Också den en etisk, modulär europeisk telefon.

Då kör vi samma post igen
(var någon annan som fråga samma sak för någon dag sedan)Jag har en Fairphone 6. Jag är inte nöjd så till vida att för pengarna kan man få en bättre telefon med lika lång support från annan leverantör.
Sen har den vissa egenheter där den bootar om sig till o från och sånt men det finns väl måndagsexemplar hos alla leverantörer tänker jag. -

Så vill man ha en Fairphone 6 så är det inte för att det är en bra telefon utan för möjligheten att laga o fixa o trixa själv. -

I've been happy with my Fairphones. I use both Android and e/OS. I just ordered Fairphone 6 for work after they shut down 2G/3G which made my Fairphone 3 obsolete. Would have used it much longer otherwise
I like my private Fairphone 5 with e/OS as well. The camera is decent and definitely good enough for my needs (family pics). I recommend! -
@meraord I have a fairphone FP3 with /e/os. It works fine, since 2019. I replaced the module containg the usb c connector using the screwdriver they delivered with the phone, no problem. I got a system update (/e/os 3.4) just this week, for that and also for my samsung tablet.
My usage is probably not that advanced, but the phone covers my needs, and technically works fine.@anderslund @meraord I'm mostly concerned about Swedish banking apps on non-android phones. How is that experience?

Remember that this is only a problem if you use a #degoogled android, like #e_os. Fairphone with the default android afaic have no problems - except carrying google play ofc ...
