    I’ve been wanting to get this phone in Canada for a while. Hoping it will be up for sale here too… or the next gen version

    A bit late. It’s more that two years old, and it’s based on a SoC that was a year old when it was launched

      It’s still a good phone. But if you can wait, Fairphone 5 will be out in September; this new partnership means it should be available in the US, with five year warranty, shortly thereafter.

        I’m actually in Europe, so no need for that for me. But it doesn’t have great specs, nor apparently great security, so I’m leaning towards a Pixel with GrapheneOS for my next phone.

        Damn. If the FP5 has a decent camera and video out, I will buy it. I drool over the idea of a phone with fully open source Android ROM (or if/when Linux+Gnome mobile is ready) that I can turn into a full desktop when docked. And I want the manufacturer to enable me to do this, and not try to block me from doing it.

        I dream of Mobile Arch + Gnome + Waydroid, but I guess banking & payments will forever be out of the question.
