Will a Fairphone 5 work in the US? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Only Fairphone 4 is currently available in the US via their US partner Murena. While I could get that one, I want to support Fairphone by boosting sales of their current model. If I were to buy one and put in a US SIM card, would I be able to make and receive calls?

I very well could be wrong, but if it doesnt go through FCC approval, the device itself might be blocked on US carriers. I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to see the ff5 here
