Moi? I use currently a NOTE 20 ultra 5g. Probably my second best phone, I only hate the fact it's so massive (I miss being able to use just one hand for my phone) and the mediocre battery life for someone like me that watches a lot of videos. But the S pen is so handy those few times you need it.

US owner of an EU Fairphone 4. It is functionally locked to T-mobile due to AT&T not wanting unlocked devices on their network and the 5G bands dont always line up correctly so calls while driving are tricky. Beyond that, I love the device and can do that cool party trick where you can take out your battery and everyone stares in awe at my organic, free-range smart phone. (That part is a lie, I dont go to parties).

Joking asside, I like having an attempt at an ethically sourced phone, even though it is a finicky device. There is a US redistributor and they sell a model with region appropriate changes and a de-googled cloud backup service, but im not in the market for replacing this thing yet.

Eu fairphone 4 user here. Obviously i have none of these issues as phone/network locking isnt a thing here. And im running lineageos and not fully degoogled ( which im ok with ).

But the party trick is very real haha.
I plan to use this phone for at least 8 years as my previous phone, a one plus x, i used for 8 years.

Fairphone also has 5 (!) year of warranty if you sign up for free.

And you can still buy all the spare parts for the Fairphone 2 which came out 9 years ago.

So getting to 8 years shouldn't be a problem.

Exactly the reason why i replaced the one plus x ( which was running a lineageos android 11 build fine ) with the fairphone 4 :D
