@Madchatthew not tried it myself but am intrigued.

@phenomlab they have roms that will work on various phones. I am guessing that they would have a rom for your oneplus phone if you ever decide to play around with it. I was wanting to install it on one of my older samsung phones but they didn’t have a rom for it at the time.

@Madchatthew I traded in my old oneplus handset as a part exchange for the Samsung I now have

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab Nice! Now it seems like providers will have a deal where you can bring in any old phone and they will trade it for free for a new one. They had a deal like that with that new samsung fold phone. I was almost tempted to trade in the S8+ but I don’t need another phone laying around haha

Here is an article I found that names some of the different linux OSs for phones. Just for an example of what I mentioned above.

So I am always looking around at different phones and such just to see if there are better ones out there and that sort of thing. Have any of you heard about this company. If a part goes bad you can simply replace it yourself by ordering the part. They guarantee that their phones stay supported for at least five years and you just replace a part that goes bad if it does. It doesn’t look like you can get them in the US though.

@Madchatthew yes, I’ve seen this. Pretty sure they are available in the UK.

@phenomlab I just watched a video about fairphone and the guy in the video said that they support them for 8 years so you would definitely get what you pay for the phone out of it.

@Madchatthew definitely. Also good for the environment as it reduces landfill.
