minus-squareCerebralHawks@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoEvery savvy user will make this the first thing they do on a new Android phone. As an iPhone guy — say what you will about my savviness — it’s the first thing I’d do on a new Android phone. But I don’t want a Pixel, I want that new Fairphone. In green. I just don’t have $650 laying around to piss away on a phone.
minus-squareFridaVermercury@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoIf you buy a fairphone you can select a non-stock Android being preinstalled, these allegedly are not affected by this change as far as I understood it.

minus-squareMidnitte@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·4 days agoThat green is nice… A shame that theres basically no used Fairphones on the market - I’d love to give it a whirl and use pmOS with it, but I also dont have $650 :(
minus-squareINeedMana@piefed.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoI bought a used one around a month ago for messing with pmOS. FP4 was the cheapest but I think I also saw used FP5 ones Maybe look around markets in other countries?
minus-squareMidnitte@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 days agoWhere’d you end up finding it? Swappa has nothing, their forum doesn’t really seem to have many people selling (only looking for components) I guess swappa has a few for… $500-600 :(
