I think it's time for a new mobile phone, I'm leaning towards a fairphone but the nothing phone does interest me. Anyone have any input? #fairphone #nothingphone #phoneupgrade

I've been using Fairphone since 2020 (FP3, FP5 and now FP6).

What kind of inputs are you looking for?

@max everyone seems to be against the lastest model as it's got Google ai (from what I've read) but you can also run Linux on it? Is it just a more ethical android phone. I was thinking about going in on number 5

The only AI I'm aware of is Gemini but you must enable it, it's not enabled by default.

Of course it's a Google phone with all pros and cons. However, you can also buy FP6 with e/OS/ preinstalled.

I'm not a fan of phone rooting but as far as I know you can install other OSes on your FP. Anyway, on these topics I leave the floor to @WeAreFairphone because it's not my cup of tea.
