Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence

  Iirc the chipset, QCM6490, will lose support after 2028 meaning the device will get at least 5 years of security updates and not the promised 8. Pretty sure that’s why grapheneOS doesn’t/won’t support it since the company doesn’t keep to their promises

      Same thing also said by the developer of DivestOS. Fairphones are not fully patched until anywhere close to their promised support. forum.fairphone.com/t/…/99302

      Which is why I don’t think I’m getting the fp. I don’t want to pay a premium price for a less secure phone than one with graphene

  Running android puts rather a low ceiling on security and privacy

    You don’t have to use Google services on the fairphone. And if you use it without those, Android is waaaaaaaaay more private than iOS.

    iPhones are barely much better than Android phones for privacy or security.

      How do push notifications work on Graphene? I am currently using LineageOS with microg services but the experience has been quite rocky

    Quite the opposite. Running iOS means you have a device that does whatever Apple tells it to do, nothing more and nothing less. Running Android means you have a plethora of options to choose your level of security and convenience.

  Why is it currently being advertised as running Android 13?
