Say that again :) ?

Tease apart I think and believe /e/ is a really great initiative, which aligns better with ecology than Fairphone does (so far).

If my phone was supported I'd have switched long ago (it's a 2015 sony z5c I bought second hand 3.5 years ago).

/e/ & fairphone have a partnership. You can get a fairphone preloaded with /e/OS (in Europe & the UK): https://www.fairphone.com/en/2020/04/30/keeping-your-data-sa...

A refurbished phone needs less raw materials and processing than a new fairphone.
