  Fairphone should sell phones outside of Europe

  Unfortunately neither of us get what we want

      Mmmhm. I’ve been eyeing them since their first phone. I’m sure they will offer even the most basic “international shipping with no warranty or support” any day now…

        Idk where you are, but looking at their shipping info they list some authorized resellers that ship to the US. As you said, will have varying levels of warranty etc but yiu also have to check hardware stuff like mobile network compatibility etc

    You can get the previous model (FairPhone 4) in the US through Murena.

      Paying full price for a phone that was weak when it released 3 years ago that is also missing most US cell bands and is locked to T-Mobile.

      Oh and also the parent company doesn’t ship anything to the US, so parts are aftermarket only.

      That’s not available in the US: that’s you can hack together a workaround.

        Yup, I looked into them because so many people talked them up, but due to all of those issues you mentioned, I crossed it off my list. I ended up going with Pixel 8 due to long software support, GrapheneOS compatibility, and acceptable repairability, though I would have preferred a PinePhone Pro (if it had better speakers and software support) or FairPhone (if it had better support in the US).

        I guess we’ll see what happens when my phone goes out of support (so, 6+ years?) or I break it.

  CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.

  CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.

  Fairphone’s devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.

  I think some op phones also meet the requirements.
