Ok, so honesty time: The fact that this company is good for the environment, pays people well, etc… is NOT my main “thing” for wanting to own this phone.
It’s the fact that it is open. I can unlock and flash whatever I want, I can fix things by ordering replacement parts, a new screen is TOTALLY do-able both price wise and doing it myself.
Also it does not come with bloat, or vendor-lock in software like on ALL samsung shitty phones.
Out of all the phones, this one makes the most sense.
(And my current FP4 goes to my mother, perfect for her and many more years of support)
I pre-ordered already.

I see Google Drive, Gmail, Google Messages on screenshots so it does corn with bloatware.
What OSes support the fairphone? I’d consider one if I could run something other than android on it
What are you currently running? Just curious what non-android and non-ios is working well for you.
