The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. (shop.fairphone.com)

I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

Unfortunately it's not available in the US though.

Fairphone 6 approaching? They are great, the project is amazing and I wish every brand would be like them in terms of caring about users and environment

I do own a Fairphone 5 as my new company phone, I used an iPhone 13 mini before. Sadly I have to say that I don't agree with the "they are great", while a Fairphone 5 is a totally capable and usable phone it lacks a lot of the lifestyle appeal that a modern smartphone brings. The Fairphone is quite laggy, the camera is not very good and since Google focusses a lot on the pixel line the stock android experience on the Fairphone lacks a lot of comfort features. I would still recommend it for everyone willing to look beyond these downsides and just uses their phone for communication. Sadly that's not the majority of people

Anyone tried this Linuxphone?

Looks ok but I dont like the subscription model for os updates. First 12 months is free, then you have to pay.

But I guess they have to make their money somehow.

I looked at it, but it looks really outdated phone. Would be interesting if we live in a 2015, but not today.

I've been meaning to look into PinePhone myself.

The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.

I like it a lot but I need two physical SIM slots so it doesn't work for me, unfortunately. But great idea and love the price drop
