I can heartily recommend a Fairphone to anyone bothered about the plight of workers in war-torn Congo. They have a new on coming out next year which I'm hoping will be Lollipop. (Current version is stuck on 4.2, which is a shame, but still totally workable.)
Also I think Intel is getting is stuff conflict-free.
- yesbabyyes 11y agoThanks! I'm aware of the Fairphone, of course. I just prefer not to buy something new when I have something that's already working (kind of ;). Thing is, I'm not all that keen of being part of The Almighty Google either... If Ubuntu would run on the Fairphone, that might be a great option. Of course, the first thing is to practice restraint, and not buy lots of new stuff just because I can afford it.
- Robin_Message 11y agoYeap, I think that's the right attitude. I only got a Fairphone after my previous phone died in a freak punting accident†. Fairphone did have a recent announcement that was suggestive of new OSes... but personally I think them supporting Android is important, so it can be an off-the-shelf replacement for another phone, rather than a bizarro thing for beardy-weirdy yoghurt knitters. † Not making this up.
