The Fairphone (Gen. 6)

available with /e/OS too https://shop.fairphone.com/the-fairphone-gen-6-e-operating-s...

As I near the eol of my daily driver, I'm considering a Fairphone, but what it's missing is a folding card holder, like the Satechi wallet stand for iPhone. Putting the phone in horizontal mode on a table and using a bt keyboard is how I do a lot of my writing

This question always comes up:

The Reason GrapheneOS isn't made for Fairphones Officially is that Fairphones lack a lot of base requirements for official support:

There's nothing preventing anyone from making a 3rd Party port of GrapheneOS to Fairphones, it just seems no one does.

Which features specifically do Fairphones miss? It seems to me like most of those requirements are all part of the (mostly open-source) software stack. The Fairphone uses a standard Qualcomm chip that should work as well or as badly as a Pixel SoC.

The "Complete monthly Android Security Bulletin patches without any regular delays longer than a week for device support code (firmware, drivers and HALs)" part isn't even true for Pixels.

I suspect it's the features of the titan m2 security chip. It's a pretty cool piece engineering [0].

The tech is impressive, but not exactly Google exclusive. If the ROM developers intend to only support devices with Pixel exclusive features like the Titan chips, they might as well say they're not interested in supporting non-Google phones.
