    Interesting concept, but seems just like a phone with privacy switches and a non-Google OS. How is it on security, hardening? How would it compare to GrapheneOS?

    To be fair, GrapheneOS does require a Pixel, but that’s because those phones are the best in terms of security, and can be privacy as well.

      I run their OS /e/ on my fairphone 4. As someone who just uses a phone for basic stuff its the tits, no bs, no google apps required at all. The built-in tracker blocking etc is great and I like the basic interface.

      Biggest bonus is that my phone lasts maybe 50% longer on a single charge. Was super easy to install too.

      No paying with NFC though, but I don’t mind, I always had my wallet anyway.
