I am looking for my next smart phone.

It seems like I will choose between a Fairphone 6 or Nothing 3 (or any other phone) How do these phones compare?

    Fairphone works better than most with alternatives. PostmarketOS runs pretty well on Fairphone 5, for those who really want to be completely free of Google. Personally I’m happy with /e/OS for now.

      Writing this from PostmarketOS on the fp5, it does run, but getting mobile data to work is an adventure (at least with my isp). I haven’t tried the WIP kernel to get the speaker working, the mic doesn’t work at all currently, so only calling with a bluetooth headset. Battery life is a bit less than android. I’ll probably dual boot with Ubuntu Touch or Lineage for the next while.

      If your ok with the thickness of the fp5, then get it over the fp6. Linux and custom rom support is much better, also usb 3.
