I could, but I'm in the US, and only the Fairphone 4 seems to be available, and that has limited updates left. I'm also not sold on /e/OS, but it's probably fine.

~~Fairphone can run GOS just fine btw.~~ eOS is just also "approved" by fairphone themselves

EDIT: no they don't, I was wrong

Really? It's certainly not supported by GOS, and it seems to be because FairPhone is late on shipping security patches. It would be awesome if they did get support though.

I'm in the US. I bought the fairphone 5 and it works fine with Mint Mobile, T-Mobile mvno. I got it to replace my LG V20. Both have replaceable batteries.
