Now if only they'd support Graphene OS or something like that. Preferably signed, so that banking apps would have a chance of working.
In the long run bonus - Linux support would be nice too.

Such a cool phone. We need more like this.
Old phones were like this! It was super easy to replace screens, batteries, etc. on smartphones 10 years ago. Then everything became glued, sealed, and enshittified.
Honestly quite the downgrade in some departments imo. You cant swap the battery without a screwdriver anymore (was great for hiking with a secondary battery) and no USB3 which also means no DP over USBC.
Actually to me that's an improvement as my back plate, and thus my battery, has come loose causing the phone to sometimes turn off when it falls.
Stop dropping your phone then lol But yeah there is always a tradeoff i guess.
I lost a motorola battery off a cliff I wasn't even standing particularly near once while attempting a battery swap... I suppose I succeeded at swapping the battery at least.
I really want to support this project but my phone is still working perfectly thanks to the Lineage team.
If only they supplied the parts for older models lmao
Huh… didn’t expect it to be available in the US. Nice!
The 5 had been on my radar, but unfortunately, I had given up on it ever coming stateside and replaced my 7yo phone just a few months ago. I hope I get to try a fairphone in 7 years when this one dies!
