Looks like a new model for the Fairphone has been announced! What do you think about it?

Personally I love the fairphone project but after having tried GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a it would be hard to move to a different OS

    Apps, scheduled backups, photos, offline maps, music.

    Would rather not store most things on the device NAND as it has a finite shelf life

        In theory, but phones do soooo much with the NAND that I think it varies quite largely.

        I’ve struggled to get more than 3-5 years out of my devices, and its seemed to be the NAND causing the failure in my limited experience

        My galaxy S4 failed after two years and would go straight into firmware flashing mode when connected to a computer. Leading up to this, it was reallllyyyy slow. I eventually narrowed this down to the internal storage, and moved my apps to the SD card where things sped up again. It would also frequently reboot.

        My Galaxy S5 (RIP 🤧) failed after a good 6 year run, now it goes straight to recovery with MMC_READ failed sadly

        On the opposite end of things I’ve got an old Android 4 tablet from 2013 that still works perfectly fine, although I don’t really have any reason to use it, it’s kinda just existing as a time capsule.

          Thanks for sharing your experience :) Glad I never had such issues with my devices, but I guess it heavily depends on the specific device and the usecases.

          My current Op 7 Pro has also been running without a problem. But in case it happens I know what might be the cause
