I'd still avoid American brands. Currently using a Pixel but if I had to buy again, I'd be looking at a Fairphone or Samsung. I'd probably stretch this Pixel for a while. Technically it's got 5 more years of software support.
You mentioned the Fairphkne and I’ve been eyeing it too. Has anything changed with how we can actually get it here? Or do we still have to do our homework and check if it’ll work with our existing providers or get a new plan?
I have a FP5 in the EU and I love it. I think you can get a 4, and I'm under the impression the 5 will work on some bands but not others in Canada
I wrote “eyeing” but that’s an understatement — I’ve been mouthwatering. I’m a bit of a sucker for things I can tinker with. I don’t need a new phone at the moment, but the day may come soon.
I’ve looked around and yeah, that’s my impression too, that the 5 doesn’t work with certain bands, but I don’t think I’ve seen a definitive list.
I did see that some people have used some middleman service to get the 4.
I promise I'll post on Lemmy somewhere (whenever it makes sense?) this fall when I visit the US with my Fairphone 5*
*Trip subject to how terrible things are there at the time lol
