Fuck these guys… Seriously. I bought a phone off of them hyped at the idea of the ethics. It didn’t work on arrival. Over 3 months later and not one single reply to my helpdesk request (other than the Automated acknowledgement of receipt).
Unbelievably bad user experience, I went from hyped at the concept of reducing my production of electronic waste to beyond disappointed at a brutally bad user experience.
The to make matters worse, they’ve already stopped producing spare parts for the fairphone 4 (which a friend of mine bought a while ago)… Like is that not the entire point of the phone, reduced consumption of new phones by supporting repairs. If you’re going to stop producing the spares at least release the patents then… if you really believe in the promoted ideals that you spout… Which they clearly do not.
It turns out that it’s just another money hungry company hell bent on burning the planet down to see a line go up, as far as I’m concerned. All gaff to sell shite phones at higher prices.
Do not buy.
Does it have a headphone jack? Does it support Graphene OS?
I can’t comment on GrapheneOS, but please have a 3.5" jack. I chose the Fairphone 3 when 4 was already available because of this. I hate to have another battery to take care of, when on-ear wired headphones work so well.
Graphene doesn’t support anything but pixels. Even if fairphone put the special chip in that graphene requires, graphene would still have to build a version for it.
They have a specific list of requirements on their site for supporting a device, mostly security hardware. Pixels just happen to be the only ones that meet that requirement right now. Others are supposedly coming though.
Yeah, but that isn’t the device “supporting” graphene, the chip is a general security measure. And, again, for anyone that does add it, graphene still has to build for the devices.
I think graphene os has to support them but it’s a handshake so both parties need to make each other’s life easier
Neither is really the issue.
The phones hardware has to support grapheneos.
It requires certain hardware security chips and modules, that most devices don’t have.
Unless those are included its highly unlikely it will be supported by grapheneos.
CalyxOS is an adequate alternative through and already supports current Fairphones.
Is it smaller than a tablet?
It’s a 6.31 inch display, so I’d say it’s not ridiculously big, but not a truly small phone, which is kind of a dying breed
It’s crazy that 6.3 inches is considered not ridiculously big for a phone
I could be mistaken on how big that is, I have one of the last truly small phones (zenfone 10) and don’t have a great sense for how big that’d be in my hands 😅
My wife thinks so.
