Has anyone compared this to a PinePhone?

I bought a PinePhone and it works great as a mini laptop to do light programming. But as a phone I don’t think I could trust it, and the interface seemed to need some work. It was cool (though awkward to control) running full desktop apps like VLC though.

Perhaps I should have tried a different OS though. I couldn’t tell how much of it was software vs hardware limitations.

This would be a middle ground between a PinePhone and a big standard Android phone

It’s still running Android, but it doesn’t have Google Play Services

The fairphone has google services preinstalled.

The one that's going to be available in the US is the de-googled version.
