It’s not us, it’s you. It’s with a heavy wrench that we have decided to end our partnership with Samsung. Despite a huge amount of effort, Samsung’s approach to repairability does not align with our mission.
That’s what my research suggests, it doesn’t get a good signal in Canada because it’s missing some of our bands.
Google phones still don’t solve the repairability problem for me, but a Pixel with Graphene flashed onto it is theoretically the best thing for your privacy.
Honestly I’m loving my FP5. I liked my previous two handsets, but between locked bootloaders and lack of support after a few years they weren’t much use to me. I’m looking forward to a another eight years or so with this one, though.
Reading this from a Fairphone 3 that received a new battery and a new headphone jack three weeks ago (and which were both extremely easy to install).
I wish the bands worked in Canada
They don’t? That’s interesting. Well, I guess I’ll go with google next time and flash it?

I’m hoping to make my current phone last as long as possible with hopes all phones will be a bit more repairable when the time comes.
