    Fairphone 6. Google can suck it. As long as people support the company, competition is coming. Hopefully, they have the resources to keep on going after Google shits on everyone.

      When I started my degoogle process some time back & researching options I literally laughed at loud at myself. Am I seriously going to hand over yet more money to the very beast I am trying to get away from? Talk about instant compromise of values

      Years later, extremely proud of that decision. Just a non starter. Buying second hand also creates a market value for selling more google crap

      Gah. I was really torn between replacing my broken Pixel with another Pixel+GOS or buying a Fairphone 6…

      I ended up going with the Fairphone 6 cuz I want to support other players. I’m not completely off Google, but I keep moving away where I can.

      I wish Fairphone and Graphene were friends… :/

        Did the same. I don’t want a Pixel (especially with the 10s being so AI focused) and I’m not convinced Google wouldn’t have a backdoor in their phones anyway. So the choice was wait and see what Graphene’s new phone is gonna be or grab a Fairphone now.
