Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

What OS is it running and do we get better hardware security features? Any alternative OS compatible?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

CalyxOS also supports it

It's running stock Android. I suppose it will also support /e/ OS like the previous ones.

It is officially supported by /e/OS https://shop.fairphone.com/fairphone-e-operating-system I guess Lineage OS will follow soon.

Didn't find any detailed info on the hardware.

Wished it had a headphone jack. I would even take a 2.5mm.

I don't think it's coming back, unfortunately.

Yeah.

A headphone jack and a Qi charging rig are my anchor features. Without them, a candidate phone does not exist.

It's a rectangle, though. Like, how are the other rectangles less appealing?
