I am looking at getting one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 reaches EOL. Hopefully the Fairphones are still around by then and hopefully they get more support from custom ROMs. I know CalyxOS supports the Fairphone 4

    Also this price. More expensive than a brand new iPhone, I wish I could buy one but it’s way too expensive.

    Some parts of the Fairphone 3 are available anymore. A 3 years old phone that you can’t repair yourself anymore.

      The price is due to repairability and better sourcing of materials. Much like cheap chocolate, iPhones, etc, are artificially cheap due to terrible labour practices in the supply chain.

      If all someone cares about it technical performance vs price, they will never choose a fairphone.
