    I run their OS /e/ on my fairphone 4. As someone who just uses a phone for basic stuff its the tits, no bs, no google apps required at all. The built-in tracker blocking etc is great and I like the basic interface.

    Biggest bonus is that my phone lasts maybe 50% longer on a single charge. Was super easy to install too.

    No paying with NFC though, but I don’t mind, I always had my wallet anyway.

      Stuff like NFC payments are one of the reasons that kind of stick with stock Android. I want to use something else, but it’s kind of hard for me to accept losing functionality.
