Fairphone is great. I really can recommend it. It is a bit expensive at first and the specs are not something special, but mine seems to be almost indestructible. I dropped it like a 100 times and the screen is still fine. If it ever breaks I can replace it myself cheaply. I think in the long term, this makes it a lot better than many other phones. Also, a lot of the materials were sourced responsibly.

Having the entire production line in Europe sounds almost too good to be true, but then again other comments point to HMD.

Personally I think Fairphone is about as good as it gets, due to the commitment to conflict-free minerals and all that. I've been super happy with Fairphone for more than half a decade now. :)

You can also buy them new with /e/OS, which is a de-Googled Android developed open source by a French company called Murena.

Pre-ordered the Shiftphone 8. While it's promising I am unhappy with their constant delays and communication.
