Here's what I want, roughly in order of priority:

  1. long term OS support
  2. repairable
  3. privacy friendly
  4. small

I currently have a Pixel 8:

  1. 7 years software support, maybe more
  2. 6/10 on ifixit score; not great, but better than many
  3. supports GrapheneOS
  4. on the smaller end of "normal" today

A community-supported Linux phone would be awesome, since I'd get 1 and 3 by default and 2 by convention, but they don't meet my minimum needs from a phone: reliable basic feature support. Hopefully we get there by the time my Pixel dies.

The Fairphone is interesting, but it is also enormous unfortunately
