Im considering buying a new phone and i don’t really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.
But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?
The Fairphone 5 is supported by CalyxOS, iodéOS, /e/OS and LineageOS (with or without microG, which is a Google Play Services replacement).
You can read about each of the projects here:
As somebody that might be changing phone sometime this year and to cover all the possibilities, do we have a recent comparison of all these projects?
Yes! There is a really helpful (from a privacy and security standpoint) comparison chart here. It also includes GrapheneOS and “stock” Android.
Thanks!
