18 hours agoGot a Pixel 8a, i love it. Its fast, clean and customizable the phones have good technical specs and price/value for the a series is great.
In one year i only had two complications. One App i use hates the sandboxing and is lagging/freezing. I once had a broken update that bricked the phone until i sideloaded a newer update from pc. But its much less compromises / work then using a linux phone.
Fairphone is a good project but i have three reasons to prefer Pixel/Graphen.
Fairphones are big/chunky i like smaller one handed phones that fit well in pockets the pixel a series is alreddy on the big end for me, the form of the samsung s10e was peak.
The price value in pure hardware specs of pixels a series is just better.
Graphen > Lineage if you want to sandbox / emulate play services for certein games, banking apps, etc.
