I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    Fairphone 6

    No issues with other apps. I do prioritise installing from F-Droid whenever possible.
