Why no mention of https://iode.tech/ ? They offer new and refurbished phones with deGoogled OS, including Fariphone and SHIFT. They have a very nice anti tracking software integrated into the OS that doesn’t require VPN running which is a big plus. I’ve been using it for couple of years before I switched to Graphene OS and definitely will consider switching back when my phone dies. Regular updates, couple of nice feature Graphene OS doesn’t have (pattern unlock, configurable shortcuts, system backups). I’m pretty much sticking with Graphene because when I got my phone iode wasn’t supporting it yet and now I’m to lazy to switch back.
Any idea how hood the cameras are on these? I specifically got myself a (used) xiaomi 13t for the Leica optics, and will probably not change before it dies (because of money) except if I can sell it and switch ofc.
Writing this on the Volla Quintus. It’s a nice phone. Best features are the springboard and the boot manager.
do you use any banking apps? if yes, are there any difficulties?
I use two banking apps and an NFC payment app and all of them work without any problems. You just enable micro g and when you’re done, you disable it again.

I use /e/OS on my Fairphone 3+ since more than 3 years and can only recommend it!
