I tested the first eco-friendly phone offered to US buyers in years — I just wish it wasn't so expensive

The Fairphone 6 Plus is a minor upgrade over its predecessor, despite costing more. However, it's available to US buyers, which is a significant development.

    The only thing it’s missing is graphene OS support :(

    I’m in the US and bought one. Put LineageOS on it, and I’m really enjoying it. It has like double the battery life of my old phone, and I don’t know if that’s because of the phone or because none of my apps are constantly uploading my personal data.

      My Sony’s battery lasts a week in sparse use with /e/OS. It was the surveillance wasting energy.

    That one is well supported by /e/OS.

      Why are you using Quora?

      When you can use this instead:

        There’s 400 million monthly active users on Quora (of which tens of percent are bots).

        That link is in my answer.

    Hope this trend continues. My Pixel has a solid 5 years left easily but after that this’d be great. Looking at Framework laptops as well.

    I bought two a few weeks ago. One my wife and I, each. We both love it so far. Also because we just barely missed the promo for free fairbuds, they supplied us with two gift cards for equivalent deal.

    Fantastic customer service.

    I’ve tried to finding if they’d work in Australia so i can import one. Our telcos are super restrictive about phones becase we shut 3G and coaling our emergency number is fraught with issues on many phones

    Oh, so does this mean it’s popular enough for a bunch of people to buy as much of them as possible and sell them in the US at %500 percent of what they’re worth?

    Because that’s what will happen.
