  Yeah, the Fairphone 2 is 7 years old and you can still buy all the important replacement parts directly from their store.

    Does it still get OS updates?

  Yeah, they’re touting this as if it isn’t old news. Yes, the phones are cool and yes, America can’t have them. What else.

      Kind of. It doesn’t run Android with the Play Store so it’s a pretty different experience.

        I have the Aurora store on my /e/os so I can get apps that are on Play Store too. Haven’t noticed any difference in experience except that well, no Play Store is installed.

        But isnt /e/OS an android system too? Always wondered what stops a person from not just installing lineageOS on these phones? Basically did what i did with mine lol
