There’s been a lot of buzz here about the Fairphone here lately, especially with it coming to the US.
On paper, it seems rather nice. Ethically sourced, privacy friendly stock ROM.
But the skeptic in me does say, “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.”
What are the drawbacks of Fairphone that seem to be shunned away, or less discussed both by the company and community at large? Why shouldn’t I just buy a Pixel 7a and put GrapheneOS on it instead?
Those $1 from Aliexpress are shit! I bought two of them and one was dead on arrival. The second died in less than two weeks. I gave up on this and now I’m using my old Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip to listen to music. It’s so small I don’t even fell it in my pocket.
