So I was intending t buy myself a fairphone 4 for a long time now, but it got disontinued recently. I wouldn't buy the new fairphone 5 as it is a little bit expensive. Are there any good alternatives you guys recommend?

Where are you located? The FP4 is still available in the states at Murena.

I live in Slovenia, so no. I saw that it was available in Austria, but they don't offer shipping to other countries, sadly.

(edit) Nevermind, they do ship to Slovenia, thanks. (Didn't look properly cuz they didn't have the 128GB version in stock)

(edit edit) I am actually searching for the Android version. Still thanks.

The OS is Android but "degoogled", so no Google espionage services or play store etc. It's quite nice actually.

I'm pretty sure you can flash the stock FP4 ROM too though.

I can still see it on German Amazon, though I don't know whether they ship to Slovenia or not.

Hmm, I can buy and send it to you, though I understand if you don't want to trust a stranger with that much money.

What?!? I've been wanting a fairphone forever and couldn't find a place to send it stateside. This is great.

No problem. They seem legit enough that they got some press about carrying Fairphones a while back. Putting e/OS on there is another plus IMO. I've got CalyxOS on mine and love it.
