I had a plan to switch to #grapheneos when this iPhone dies, but now more than ever I dont want to give money to google for a new #pixel . The new #fairphone #Fairphone5 looks a phenomenal bargain in comparison to a pixel. Also looked at #nothingphone anyone know if its possible to #degoogle these phones completely? It seems crazy that buying a Google phone seems the best method to reliably degoogle!! Graphene team doing the lords work.

Fairphone's IMPACT REPORT 2024 is out now https://forum.fairphone.com/t/our-2024-impact-report-is-out-here-are-the-highlights/117926

The full 122-page PDF report (4.6 MB) https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Fairphone-Impact-Report-2024_1.pdf shows that for the third year in a row, the number of Fairphones sold passed the 100,000 mark (for a 2013-2024 overview, see https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphones-sold-2013-2024/63123?u=urs_lesse).

After a deficit in 2023, the company's bottom line in 2024 was moderately profitable again, resuming the turnaround that had materialized in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 reports. /u

I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

• Plus their #Website being built to mandate #JavaScript isn't very "respecting" of me as a potential user.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

• But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

• I do however acknowledge that there is a #market for #smol & #sleek "#StupidPhones" or rather compact #Smartphones and I do want to see more competition for it.

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

• I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

• It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

• Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

Jobben min tilbyr Fairphone 5, men den er bare alt for stor (bred) for at jeg noen sinne kommer til å kjøpe den. Når mobiler bikker 70mm synes jeg de begynner å bli er uhåndterlige, Fairphone 5 er 75,8 mm. Det er nesten en hel cm bredere enn min Sony Xperia 5 V med sine 68 mm.

Who knows which @gcam version is good for the #fairphone 4? #fp4 #gcamfork #gcammods #gcam
.
I tried like 7-8 of them and all seem to crash at some point.

Do not buy the FP4 case. It absorbs dirt and the edge doesn't come high enough to actually protect the screen on a flat floor. #fairphone

It seems that the Fairphone 5 wouldn't fit my needs in terms of Battery life over a whole Day or almost two like i got used to like with my Galaxy A52 from Samsung, that's really sad.

Did some research about that Topic lately.

Because when i remember about my Galaxy Note 4 back in the days, i disliked to change the Battery during the day just to get trough a day on one loading.

And there are other quirks as well, lurking...

After a slightly bumpy start I have completely ported myself over to #Murena #Fairphone #Fairphone5
The only Google app I have brought with me is Gboard for Irish localization. I had to drop Revolut for Bunq as Revolut app is broken on Murena. I miss Android Auto and Digital Wellbeing apps. All Irish apps I use for banking, utilities, shopping etc are working fine. It feels great to have made the switch!
