Interesting article from a generalist magazine. According to it:

  • Best Preinstalled Phone: Fairphone 6 With /e/OS
  • Best for Pixel Phones: GrapheneOS
  • Best for Non-Pixel Phones: /e/OS
  • For the DIY Tinkerer: LineageOS

Thinking of getting a fairphone 3/4. Currently use a dumb phone and a fire tablet I got second hand very cheap.

    I have the 6, and it's well worth it, I'd assume the 3 or 4 will be quite the upgrade from a dumb phone

    Kinda. Battery life will be worse though. Tablet has a larger battery as there is more space, dumbphone has longer battery life because it uses so little power. It will be far more powerful than the tablet and with fdroid I can install pretty much everything I need. Family like to message on whatsapp though, which is the only thing keeping me from immediately sticking PostmarketOS on it which I have used before on a Pinephone.

    Do wish that larger powerbanks were more common. ~74Wh (20,000mAh at 3.7v) seem to be one of the cheapest per capacity available and I suspect it is because of mass production. Larger are usually more like camping batteries and cost more, I suspect because they don't sell as many of them. Cheapest per Wh for larger capacities is probably best achieved by just sticking multiple together.
