I really wish Fairphone 4 had GrapheneOS support, but after almost 4 years of Fairphone 3 I decided to go with a Pixel instead. Too many hardware bugs with the FP3 that were never acknowledged by the vendor and unhappy customers with bricked FP4's that requires sending them back in.

Also I would have hoped for them continuing the FP3 architecture, feels such a waste that they've now instead developed a much more expensive hardware again.

Building and maintaining an Android device is truly not trivial, kudos for that, but I don't think with their current company size they're truly up for the task.

Also buying a Fairphone instead of a wider used phone means you'll be able to repair it - but because all the internal parts are super customized, phone repair shops won't have their usual source of spare parts.
