Looks like a new model for the Fairphone has been announced! What do you think about it?

Personally I love the fairphone project but after having tried GrapheneOS on my Pixel 6a it would be hard to move to a different OS

I think it's incredibly ironic that it's made in China while being marketed as ethical.

China isn't inherently unethical. Just because Apple's Chinese factories contain suicide nets, doesn't mean every Chinese factory does.

This.

Also would like to add that Fairphone works very closely with the manufacturer for OS and firmware customisations after the product has launched, based on feedback from the forum, this can be for things like decreasing the minimum brightness to go even darker (proprietary blob driver, only the factory can to do this) and support for new Bluetooth codecs, as they've done for the FP3.
