Recently a user here did the math on that and the fair/eco part of fairphone is really miniscule (they spend less than 5$ per phone and a big part of that are fairwashing credits).
Unless you need the repairability or the specific specs, you might be better off to buy a cheaper phone and just donate money to a good cause.
We currently sell and ship Jolla C2 within the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland.
From a cursory glance, they don't ship to any of the largest smartphone markets. That's likely why you don't hear much about them as opposed to any of the global distributors.
It actually looks decent, and their C2 phone looks reasonable though not premium (8GB RAM, a 1600x720 screen and no fingerprint reader are not brilliant specs, though it’s a nice looking phone). The OS subscription might put some people off though: you get one year of updates and then have to pay about €5 per month.

GrapheneOS is one of the last bastions of freedom remaining. I don’t know what we’ll do if that happens.

I’ll be looking at the Fairphone 6 with the de-Googled e/OS option.

sailfish?

I’ve quickily looked up Sailfish and am shocked that we haven’t been hearing more about it. Why is so? Where’s the catch?

Linux phones I guess. I really don’t know.

A phone that works with proper linux: PostmarketOS, Sailfish OS or Ubuntu Touch.

Probably own a privacy-invasive phone and use it as little as possible.
