I would buy one if they shipped globally and it was about 100-150€ cheaper. The specs are not worth 700€. I would also need official GrapheneOS support as well.
That's what those specs are worth if everyone who's part of it gets compensated for their work appropriately.
Imagine the price of a Galaxy S23 if Samsung actually was fair to everyone involved.
There's no GrapheneOS support for it, but CalyxOS is going to support it.
It wasn't free. You paid for it
Someone gifted you a phone and you are not paying them money at all?
They're probably talking about mommy and daddy that got them the phone. Which is why they're responding like a 5 year old.
That is no way to insult a five year old!
Since I can't get the Fairphone in the US, I got a Pixel 7a for $350. It's not as repairable as my ancient 3a, but if it lasts 7 years like the 3a, I'll have gotten my money's worth.
