Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

  No, the Graphene developers insist on hardware functionality that is not present on the Fairphone.

  No, currently only on Pixels. Plans to support another future platform exist.

    Hmm, in mean time I prefer buying Fairphone over supporting Google.

      I prefer secure systems. Buy used/refurbished for not supporting Google.

        I think it still supports Google. If someone wants a Pixel and one less is available second hand, thats one more person buying it in store. Probably not 1:1 relationship there, but still.

      You can buy second hand! Backmarket, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist.

      Well, if you’re patient Graphene release some messages that they’re teaming up with a large phone manufacturer and will release a Graphene phone in Q4 2026 or 2027.

      However, this announcement was made before all the AI hype which is consuming all the RAM.

  If I’ve got my story straight. (and if not, someone here will surely correct me)

  For Graphene to deliver the advanced security provided by their OS, they need features found on newer processors and want more timely firmware updates. Google currently delivers on both needs.

  FP is behind on hardware, prob cost cutting to make modular costs more affordable.
