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.
Cool computers, but Framework supports fascists
Wow a group funded by Linus Tech Tips turns out to be full of chuds, color me surprised
Looks like a relatively closed issue https://www.theregister.com/software/2025/10/14/framework-flame-war-erupts-over-linux-controversy/1466815
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.
Which sony runs e/os? I like their phones, had no idea they were compatible with e/os
Several are able to run Lineage (I believe a lot of the 1 series as well as a couple of the 5 and 10 series too), and since e/OS is based on Lineage, they can more easily support it. Check the link the other person commented!
CalyxOS
Relocked bootloader for security, banking apps in seperate user profits, built-in work profiles for the more needed but shit apps.
I am loving it on my fairphone 6 so far, and the flasher tool was very easy and it automatically triggers the locking steps so you can’t mess it up.
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.
The only thing it’s missing is graphene OS support :(
May i interest you in Linux support instead?
I would’ve gotten this if I could (not available in India). And just to let you know, you’re the only reason I want this device.
Does Linux actually work on the 6+? I haven’t been able to find any info on compatibility other than it supposedly existing.
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) and Fairphone (Gen. 6+) are software-compatible, so you can install the Nura image on either model.

If someone is not familiar with Nura, it was previously known as the PostmarketOS but changed the name last week.
I should add that Jolla is a Finnish, Linux-first phone. Runs Sailfish.
In an old secondary phone for testing sure! Not confident enough to have this on my main phone
CalyxOS works on it too reportedly.
Really really enjoying calyx on my fairphone 6 (non plus).
Also iodéOS, IIRC
Responsive fingerprint scanner
PTSD triggered xd
A thousand dollars?!?! Sorry, I ain’t no thousandaire.
Dollaridoos?
Sells for $649.99 / £569 (roughly AU$1,100)
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
Worryingly Murena (main /e/OS developer) is not selling it there:
https://murena.com/products/smartphones/?wcpbc-manual-country=AUFuck our politicians for this. Yet another let industry decide legislation bullshit decision.
I have one too, really like it. Performamce is pretty much on par with my previous phone, Pixel 7, though battery is much better. The slow USB-c port sucks, but fortunately I can use an SD card for large file transfers. I just had to get a case because the body is a bit too slippery for me.
Canadian checking in: I can haz?
Not from Murena (main /e/OS developer):

I own the FP6 and my mother owns the FP6+. We’re both happy with it.
I quite fancy a FP6 / FP6+, but unfortunately my FP3+ is still going strong with it’s 2nd battery and 2nd USB port (due to cheap cables wearing it out), so I’ll probably have to keep using it for another few years… 😉
Dang, I was looking to get a new phone for myself, but that price is just too much for me. Looks like I’ll just buy a used pixel 8
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.
Regional restricted phone. Can’t even deliver through forwarding company because store does not accept payment method with billing address from my country.
European companies struggle with scale. Canada is neglected by Fairphone.
It would be completely fine for me if this company could not deliver the phone to my country. Logistics is difficult and expensive. If i wanted to get one anyway, i could just deliver it through forwading company from my country, for an additional delivery fee. The main problem however, which i am the most outraged about, is that they intentionally restrict payment from countries where they will not deliver, even though i have money and can deliver through third party delivery service.
Take this with a grain of salt as i am not an expert but when i looked into it if you sell knowing it will go to a forwarding service to a specific country legally it then counts as selling to that country and the seller is on the hook for all the regulations so they have to block it.
Then it is a regional restriction. Its one thing when company does not bother selling it in other country, and a completely different thing when it is intentionally restricting product sales in those countries. And unlike software, physical products cannot be just pirated, while smuggling is significantly risker.
Again i don’t know for sure but from my understanding to answer this question and the one you asked ironblossom.
If a company accepts payment and ships to a fowarding service knowing it is going to a certain country then that is legally the same as if they shipped it themselves.
If their product is not certified to be sold in that country the seller now can face heavy fines.
If their product is defective and causes damage and they don’t have insurance for that country then the seller can be on the hook for heavy payouts.
To prevent this the seller must block the sale.
This is simply due to a strict compliance process which is a good thing
In what way forcing a regional restriction a good thing? All banks in my country support international payment methods like master card and visa, while most banks also provide and option to register an euro card. How does intentionally not accepting international payment even in euro just because the card is registered in other country, a good thing and counts as a strict complience?
This is because you have a limited understanding of what their compliance process entails. I don’t think they are intentionally refusing to accept payment from a list of countries but rather they have not completed the due diligence or fulfilled these compliance requirements yet. They are a relatively small company still.
