In hindsight, I should’ve added a few more…

Repairability/sustainability: Easy to repair, sustainably produced.

Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Apple, no Samsung etc.), good workers’ rights and supply chain. Preferably European.

Privacy: Speaks for itself. Privacy or anonymity, measures that foster it rather than feed data to others.

I feel like Fairphone would hit the Repairability and likely also Ethics (since it’s a certified B corporation), but for Privacy, it’d be a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS… but it’s Google, and given the CLOUD Act…

Maybe I could add accessibility there too, interface customisation (I like the iOS interface ways, but still, it’s Apple), but that’s a separate category.

      Preferably directly from the company Murena, as they develop /e/OS. Don’t have to sideload and lock the bootloader or do anything, and devs gotta eat!

      That’s what I went with. It satisfies all three for me better than any other option on the market.

          1.5 months. It’s a worse flagship and it’s roughly priced accordingly. No major limitations or pains, although because of the privacy stuff knocking out google programs by default I’ve had to troubleshoot an app or two to get the onboard settings right.

          I’d recommend it to just about anyone except for maybe a grandma. Phones are largely set it and forget it though in my experience so even then it’s a bit of getting every app loaded and set up and then never worrying about it again.

          For instance lieferando I haven’t gotten working but nearly every other app was pretty simple.

            Rad, I’m sold whenever this thing becomes unusable. I’m on the lighter end of phone use so it sounds like I would lose absolutely nothing.

            What do you use for maps?

              I use Google maps and Maps which is based on Freemaps if I’m not mistaken. Google’s directions are just miles faster and better than Maps provides but I want to start writing reviews in both and contributing.
