Personally, I’d love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.

They should partner use grapheneos and sell in USA.

Wasn’t the issue here that they would have liked to partner with GrapheneOS, but GrapheneOS didn’t want to, because of some security requirements that they had?

GrapheneOS had security requirements and they offered to help Fairphone implement them, but Fairphone refused. Apparently they are not interested in their user security and privacy. So I won’t be touching Fairphones with a 10ft stick. Motorola was interested and should be launching a phone with GrapheneOS preinstalled at the end of 2026 or 2027.

I got a Google pixel 10 just so I can have GrapheneOS as soon as possible. I am glad that Google’s plans to lock down Android are blowing up in their faces.

Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn’t include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).

I mean, if you want to call it a beef, go ahead. But it’s not like it is an unreasonable request, since it is necessary to make sure short pins are at least a bit secure.

They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).
They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.

I just bought a FP6 with /e/os installed by Murena in the US and it’s been great so far except that RCS isn’t supported by /e/os so group texts don’t work. Which is honestly a huge issue that is causing enough social friction that I’ll probably revert to an iPhone soon.
