Need a new phone? Get a Fairphone! (europe.pub)

They try to produce them as sustainable as possible. You can replace the battery and other parts. And you support an European company!

As much as I like the Fairphone people, the phones suck for me personally:

too big (FP1 was perfect size)
life cycle is fucking short: support gets dropped before my phone breaks (my FP1 is still in perfect shape but alas no security updates for years, had to trash my FP2 because when the charging port started to become unreliable, no spare parts were being sold anymore) - which flies in the face of their "mission to sustainability
not enough focus on LineageOS support
way too many cameras - but seemingly most people are vain enough to like that

way too many cameras

two. the Fairphone 4 and 5 have two back-facing cameras. and I've been very grateful for the existence of the wide-angle camera countless times.
