Fairphone 6 with e/OS. Couldn't be more satisfied!

Out of curiosity, since Iโ€™ve also been looking to buy one, you still have Google services on it or?

[โ€“] ctry21@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

I just got one as well, it uses MicroG to replace Google Play Services. Works really well, there aren't any apps I use on my fairphone that didn't work on my old S24 besides contactless payments. I just stick my card in my case or you can use Curve to replace Google Wallet/Pay.

You can if you want to. I don't.

Are you able to bank on ur mobile?

[โ€“] DreasNil@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago

Yup! No issues whatsoever with the apps.

Well, I don't have contactless payment actually, but I got the phone case where you can fit 3 cards and it works perfectly.

Oh sweet! So just f-droid? Aurora? ๐Ÿค”

@mikedd @DreasNil

It has its own app store, which is a fork of Aurora iirc. But you can download Aurora and F-droid.
