Just got a fairphone 4. It feels so much more solid than my old pixel 6a. Its battery lasts for almost 2 days. Same performance that I can see. Spare parts for cheapish on the site.
Anyways just wanted to share.

Soo jealous! Would love to gett one but I’m not from Europe
I got the us one. But yeah I hear you.
Mint/T-Mobile works well in my area so that’s a plus.
Wait there’s a fairphone for the US? I’m not from there either, but definetly more accesible than EU lol, I’m gonna check that out

In the US they offer phones that you can get with mobile service piggybacked on T-Mobile’s network. Prices seem fair if not pretty decent for even their unlimited data plan.
I just threw mint on top with a cheaper plan. Works well in my area.
Nice. Hard to beat mint’s prices, especially if your area has good coverage/service. Thanks for sharing about fairphone (didn’t know they were a thing before this haha)!
might be a stupid question, but why wouldn’t you be able to use it in the US, or any other country?
Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.
Different radio channels are often used in different regions to get the bits from phone to tower and back. Software-defined radio only goes so far, at some point the hardware RF filters and the like have to be compatible.
Sorry, not sure what you’re trying to say. I tried saying “a fairphone from the US would be more accessible than from EU because of shipping. I live closer to the US”.
that makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation.
we use different frequency ranges for our cellular networks than most regions
Yeah and it works. 4/6.
Did you just buy it from the website and have it shipped to the US?
Any idea if its good on google fi?
