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?

Well be advised it may not be as easy anymore. Cause I'm the computer person in my friend group I recently switched an fp5 to /e/. It has some kind of firmware security built in where you can install only a system with the same or higher patch level. The system installed was at a higher patch.level than the /e/-system available, which gave me headaches.

Results may vary.
