I just got one as well, it uses MicroG to replace Google Play Services. Works really well, there aren’t any apps I use on my fairphone that didn’t work on my old S24 besides contactless payments. I just stick my card in my case or you can use Curve to replace Google Wallet/Pay.
I am looking to switch off my very non-updated Xperia 5II when I have the money.
Do banking apps work with /e/?
Also how is the camera latency? One thing I love about my xperia 5ii is the high shutter speed being able to open the camera app and snap a picture of my dog before she moves.
My girlfriend’s A52 can’t often boot the camera and take a picture without completely smearing it due to the low shutter speed or multiple exposures.
Fairphone 6 with e/OS. Couldn’t be more satisfied!
Out of curiosity, since I’ve also been looking to buy one, you still have Google services on it or?

You can if you want to. I don’t.
Are you able to bank on ur mobile?
Yup! No issues whatsoever with the apps.
Well, I don’t have contactless payment actually, but I got the phone case where you can fit 3 cards and it works perfectly.
Oh sweet! So just f-droid? Aurora? 🤔

It has its own app store, which is a fork of Aurora iirc. But you can download Aurora and F-droid.
Cool, thanks!
