"[GrapheneOS] lost most interest in that hardware due to the poor way privacy, security, updates and marketing based on these things has been handled."<p><a href="https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/28825-is-there-any-chance-or-interest-in-working-together-with-fairphone/3" rel="nofollow">https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/28825-is-there-any-chance-o...</a>
I'm sure their concerns are valid but just because GrapheneOS don't consider the Fairphone to meet their standards for security doesn't mean it is not worth considering for other people who may have different priorities. Fairphones have certain advantages over Pixels such as better repairability and more ethically sourced labour/components. IMO it's good to see the Fairphone do well (and I hope GrapheneOS's partnership with Motorola also goes well).
i dont get it, they are comparing eOS to graphene, not talking about the hardware.<p>this would be like grapheneOS not using pixel because the stock android that ships with it does not respect privacy.<p>am i missing something?
Here's a post with more specific allegations:<p><a href="https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-standard-privacysecurity-patches-and-protections-arent-private" rel="nofollow">https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/24134-devices-lacking-stand...</a>
Looks great! For other T-Mobile users, it actually supports the full range of frequency bands. Quite a few devices claim T-Mobile support but are then missing band 12 or 71 on LTE or n71 on 5G, all of which are critical for coverage outside of cities.
Exciting to see this soon after someone got the Fairphone 6 camera working on postmarketOS:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49338285">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49338285</a><p>The 6+ is a different model, but the announcement says the camera module is the same.
USB 2.0 port is the only thing preventing me from purchasing one. A wild choice since I believe previous versions did not have this limitation.
You need to transfer more than 480Mbps over a hard line to and from your phone? Seems like a niche requirement that even iPhone 17 doesn't bother with. Or is it psychological 'nunber must go up and usb number went from 2 to 3 many years ago so now 2 bad'
How often do you connect stuff to your phone, and for what purposes? I genuinely wonder!<p>I can't remember the last time I connected my phone to my computer for other purposes than charging the phone, but that's me and we all use our stuff different ways
$650 for anyone who does not want to click. Hard sell compared to the iPhone 17e but more choice is good.
No Verizon support. :(
