Reminder that a used phone with a nonstock rom is more environmentally conscious.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Some other bloke skipped the first step, which is why the used phone makes sense.
Actually, when you buy a Fairphone directly from them, they offer you to send them your old phone to be refurbished and reused, I believe in 3rd world countries.
Edit: Here's the direct link: https://shop.fairphone.com/recycle
Thats actually pretty great.
It's interesting that they include phone brands like MobiWire and Blackberry, but not Google.
We are on a sub. I think fairphone is a good thing, but typically people are here because they are techie and can do a Rom swap.
