I remember when Fairphone firat came out, they talked a bit about their work. Their conclusion was that it was simply not possible to create a phone that had all parts from ethical sources, so picked some specific things to focus on that were high impact and achievable at scale.

It's likely the most ethical phone you can buy, but that is mostly due to how bad most phones are.

This is true, I would say it is currently the most ethical smartphone you can buy today, though. If you get it with e.os installed it is also more privacy focussed as well but as a heads up e.os doesn't work with some banking apps.

I agree, the only (big) problem is that many bank apps don't work there.

That's what I went with. It satisfies all three for me better than any other option on the market.

Too bad they went for the iOS look-and-feel 🫤

Basically, the CLOUD act states that if a tech corporation has main residency in the US, it needs to provide a backdoor for espionage services, no matter even if data's stored elsewhere.

Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Malus, no Samsung etc.), good workers' rights and supply chain. Preferably European.

Google Pixel literally has Google in the name

But how do we know there's no backdoor fuckery?

Never reccomend that again please.
