FWIW I haven't had any issues with my FP6, everything works well.
Same here. My battery has never died and I've had it for almost two months.
I got a flagship and regret it. I wanted to degoogle and I couldnt get it to work for me and now I am overgoogled. The battery is shit. As much as I have always detested them, Samsung have a better UI than pixel.
A flagship what? What google issues are you having? I have some tips if Samsung is the problem.
I got a flagship and regreted it too.
Pixe10lpro. Battery sucks. Google issue is that they are everywhere offering additional ai if i accept terms
That one I do not know about. Shizuku and Canta can be used to remove a lot if the bloatware, but can soft brick if you remove play store. For play store just disable with Canta. Why not just put Graphene on there? Is it too new for Graphene support?
I bought it for Graphene, I never wanted google anything much less their phone. But I needed a good camra and I got it for halfprice, figured gOS would be great but NFC payments are only available through google wallet for my bnaks and android auto didnt work.
Did you get the e/ one?
Is it possible to run e.g. GrapheneOS on it? How secure is it?
Graphene only supports pixel devices
While the fairphone can't run GrapheneOS, /e/OS is already a massive improvement over the standard Google Android as it removes the different Google viruses and bootkits installed by default. If graphene OS is a requirement for you, I'd suggest waiting until Q4 2026. As then, they have said a new device will support the software.
Wait what? Fairphone will release a ohone supporting GrapheneOS? Pog
And as for the interface.. I know it sounds silly, but does GrapheneOS have a similar interface to e/, or allow you to give it that more of an Apple-ish look?
I never said Fairphone would be it, they have just announced a new partnership with an unnamed OEM that will support GrapheneOS on their devices starting Q4 2026. I wish it were fairphone.
In Android you can make the launcher look whatever you like. You just install the launcher like any other program on the device and then just select the launcher in the settings menu as your default one. You can make it look like whatever you want.
No unfortunately I'm still on regular Android for now.
GrapheneOS isn't supported either as they only support pixel phones.
I'm not sure I'm qualified to speak to how secure it is, but my impression would be that it is about as secure as any other android phone (other than a pixel running graphene)
