    Wait, alternative to the fair phone in terms of software and reliability? Better performance than the Pine phones? Matching up to the Librems in quality?

    If this comes true I’ll be the happiest ever

      Don’t forget it’s the Android-first phone with Android-first SoC. Linux support is a additional porting effort. It even is the exact same SoC as Fairphone 5.

      Shift is even less popular that Fairphone and not as repairable (still they care about repairability), but at least they actively do something towards mainlining Linux unlike Fairphone that just don’t interrupt.
