Looks like a new model for the Fairphone has been announced! What do you think about it?

Personally I love the fairphone project but after having tried GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a it would be hard to move to a different OS

    China isn’t inherently unethical. Just because Apple’s Chinese factories contain suicide nets, doesn’t mean every Chinese factory does.

      This.

      Also would like to add that Fairphone works very closely with the manufacturer for OS and firmware customisations after the product has launched, based on feedback from the forum, this can be for things like decreasing the minimum brightness to go even darker (proprietary blob driver, only the factory can to do this) and support for new Bluetooth codecs, as they’ve done for the FP3.

      I remember I read that statistically foxconn actually has smaller suicide rank that population in average. It is simply a huge company where more than 1 milion people work. Take a million people and few of them do suicide. Media oversell this, and foxconn tryes to avoid this making their factories harder place to act.
