I wouldn’t want an iPhone if they were free
Don’t be fooled iPhone are the worst, unless jailbroken then it gets kinda fun. Just my experience.
The days of jailbreaking an iPhone are long gone afaik.
Oh, crap then I’m out of touch with iPhones.
My Fairphone 4 is fat as hell, but I get to replace the battery easily :)
no fat shaming a phone /j
Just got a Fairphone 6 a few months ago. The longer I have it, the more confused I am why not everyone is buying one. New phones haven’t had noteworthy features for years, and a Fairphone is so much cheaper than basically any other option, and looks and feels great.
People can’t afford Fairphones because they don’t get a deal on them from their cellular provider. An extra $7/mo. on the cell bill is easier to swallow than $650 up front.
My provider doesn’t even support the Fairphones :( stuck with a Google Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS until another option comes around
I’m hoping for a fairphone once my current phone wears out.
I’ve only ever bought refurbished unlocked phones, but fairphone seems worth the price to buy new.
But if anyone needs a phone cheap buying a refurbished android that 2-3 gens old is surprisingly affordable. Usually getting it in purple saves $30-50 as well
There are companies on eBay that do nothing but refurbish Androids. My last purchase was $120 because it had a line of bad pixels at the edge of the screen. No problem!
Considering them myself. Would be nice if their hardware got good enough to the point of supporting GOS w/ an interface similar to e/OS… that’d be gold.
fake: anon has disposable income
gay: anon receives verbal humiliation from a mysterious foreign gentlemanI want one of those new motorolla phones that runs graphineOS
I can’t stomach $1600 for a phone that is from a flaky OEM like Motorola, with specs that you can get from a used $600 phone.
Hoping they release some budget friendly ones soon cuz thats a crazy price for most people right now
when the time comes to upgrade my cellphone provider might let me get one
specs that you can get from a used $600 phone.
Fucking LOL
It’s not for me either but let’s return to reality.
I just want a f flagship oldable that is as thin as the Fold 7 and supports Graphene.
I can’t use foldable phones. I need my phone to have a case and a protected screen
That’s still a few months out.
Also, I got a Pixel 10 Pro Fold with GrapheneOS on it. It’s nice and they’re like $850 right now on Swappa. The non-folds are in the $450ish range.
I’m hoping Linux phones get a bit more polish by the next upgrade in like 5 years
but motorolla phones are already at my cellphone provider.

IPhone lames, and Samsung lames, are equally lame.
i’m pleased as punch with my moto g stylus 2026. i like having a headphone jack. switched to this phone from a samsung galaxy note 9, which was the best phone i’d ever owned. i will not be buying one without a headphone jack because i do not believe in paying more money to have fewer features thank you very much.
Had a Moto G 5G Plus (stupid name) and very much liked that one
Same! That phone was amazing! I ran LineageOS on it and it was seriously the best phone I ever had.
Motorolas are usually good and affordable devices. Also you can open the bootloader easily and the support for custom ROMs is strong.
i love how motorola seems like they’re actually trying to offer some of the stuff the more main-stream manufacturers took away. I’m totally here for it. but yeah i agree, the model names are so dang cumbersome XD glad you had a good experience too!
I’m pretty sure I got that as a refurbished phone on black friday for 80£. I care so little about phones that I don’t know from memory. Just wanted something that was android OS and functioned well without being extortionate in price.
This. Just get something cheap that functions.
Buying a $1000 phone - especially one you can’t install a custom OS on - is absolute clown shoes insanity.
Annoyingly a lot of the phones listed (this was giffgaff’s BF sale) were iPhones. Most of them, in fact. Which just defeats the spirit of refurbishment anyway, since they’ll get slower in a few months-years
And meanwhile, I care about none of these idiots. But equally.
