I see a lot of people mentioning Fairphones not being on par with phones by multi billion dollar companies. This citicism is valid. But I think it leaves out a lot of the overall picture. I have a Fairphone 3, and so far it survived being dropped into the bathtub (being submerged for a sec), being dropped on hard floors several times and being stepped on (screen got cracked, but it still works). Like with the Fairphone 2 I had before that, I'm able to do repairs (part replacements) on my own with minimal effort. It gets support for years. I have it running /e/ OS (terrible name) without Google Services and while that's not Graphene OS, I vastly prefer it to Google Android. For me having minor frustrations with Wi-Fi is well worth having a less-unfree and more-ethical phone.
