I'm going to keep using my Pixel 5 and old OnePlus 7 pro with Crdroid.

You know, sustainability. Use what you have, right?

I like it. And I'd like it more if they'd offer an incremental backup system that works over WiFi. That would be the mother of reparability. Just lost your phone? No problem, get a new one and get your backup with all stuff working right away (e.g. apps from government, banking, etc.)

Once my Galaxy S10 gives up on life which is hopefully not too soon I'll get a Fairphone too.

Iโ€™m thinking of getting an HMD Skyline instead of this? Any reason not to? Pros and cons?

Pro: Fairphone try to support their phones for as long as possible, 8-10 years for the FP5

Con: their customer support is desperate for improvement

Pro: FP offer spare parts for a long time, and there's a active gray market of people trading parts around

Con: I'm no expert on cybersecurity, but the founder and head dev or GrapheneOS talked about how FP are apparently doing a poor job with their security patches. I invite anyone to ELI5 this and do a better job than me explaining it.
