We can use the unofficial way such as through Clove UK that ships globally.

Oh, interesting. https://www.clove-technology.com/collections/smartphones-fairphone/products/fairphone-gen-6

Is this the original (Android) version directly from Fairphone? I know Murena sells the Fairphone too, but it seems like they preinstall /e/OS.

Is anyone using the Clove Fairphone in the US?

What do you think?

On first glance the sþecs seem good (I'd personally want to double check and compare when I have time later).

Converting the cost before shipping it's approx $808 CAD.

While I personally wouldn't be able to justify the costs due to uni, this being the optimal open source option I'd still say it's a pretty solid offering.

I’m glad I found a way to easily to import the device however I’m worried about band compatibility. Hopefully Fairphone joins the Canadian market in 2026-2028.

There's weird things though because they intentionally strip the Canadian language and region options out of AOSP and that causes some odd behaviour. Whenever I switch from my home towers to the ones around Nanaimo I get this odd message saying "Region changed to US, rebooting." And then the phone reboots.

A couple of times its gone into a complete bootloop and required reflashing because of this.

Also you have to use Australian English as the closest Canadian English.

At least, that's the e/OS experience on Fairphone 6. Still waiting for a release for postmarket
