Thoughts on fairphone 6? (sopuli.xyz)

Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That's actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What's everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

GrapheneOS user out of convenience here, but strongly considering FP6 for my next phone. GOS team are indeed very zealous about security. Which isn't a bad thing, but from a purely statistical standpoint, the chance of being hacked on any recent flavor of Android is very low as long as we download apps from reputable sources only. Android by itself is already far ahead of typical desktop OSes in terms of security.
