I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    Then you are off-topic as well.
    /e/OS is based on LineageOS. AOSP alone has very little “userland” still actively maintained.

      No. Pelespirit asked about Jolla which is mentioned in the article posts’s text body. I gave context for Jolla’s Android compatibility. It’s 100% on topic.

      /e/OS is based on LineageOS.

      And: “The Android compatibility layer of SailfishOS is based on AOSP, so the stack to get the most important 3rd party apps working relies as much on AOSP as any Android ROM.”
