I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    Slab phone is solved tech already and this is the time where we can vote for more ethical solutions without really losing anything. The newest fairphone is basically just a standard android flagship.

    I’ve been using a CMF Nothing with /e/OS installed by Murena for a year now and I can say it’s been a breeze.

    If it has a MicroSD slot, 3.5mm jack, a removable battery and costs no more than £300, I’m interested! <3

    I’d rather it were made in Europe too, but I understand we can’t have everything, supply chains being what they are.

    P.S Bonus points if it has an IR blaster, I use the one on my current phone quite a lot, surprisingly enough!
