Ideally, I’m looking for an Android or LineageOS device with at least 6GB of RAM, compact enough for portability, and capable of running without Google Apps (GAPPS). I’m open to a tablet or flip phone design as well. Since my phone serves as my primary tool for browsing, mobile computing, and communication throughout the day, reserving my laptop and desktop for evening or specialized tasks, performance is key. USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode would be a valuable bonus, though not a strict requirement.


Fairphone is not perfect, but Fairphone.
That’s my take on it, too.
It’s far from perfect and costly for the hardware (but for understandable reasons), but hey, it’s Fairphone. Rocking my FP4 here.
I have the same one. Works great and we can het repair parts whenever.
How’s the software experience for your usage? I hear fairphone is slow with major updates and updates can be buggy.
I havent seen it. Theres an update just about every other month. Im currently sitting here downloading the newest version /e/ os 3.0 which released thismonth. I havent run into the bugs…but i usually wait a couple of weeks. Just best practice.
But if you dont want to use /e/ theres a huge selection of other OSes you can use. No need to stick with thiers.
