  You can also buy used or refurbished Fairphones too

    I suppose, but Fairphones are a security and thus a privacy nightmare. As soon as you cross a border or police get your phone, e/OS and CalyxOS are virtually useless

  I know, but I’d rather leave them to people who really want them, and support the people working hard to make open source products.

    You can donate to GrapheneOS and I highly doubt that the hardware of the Fairphone is open

    e/OS is a joke btw

    Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point

      Eh, the 2nd hand sellers also wouldn’t be buying if they couldn’t sell them.

        I would think that private buyers buy a phone they are gonna use and then sell it when they don’t use it anymore 🧠
