Thanks for this post, it sent me off on an one hour journey researching sustainable phones, OS options and more. And now I’m thinking of getting a Fairphone or Shift phone. It’s great to see manufacturers not trying to make repairing and rooting your phone as complicated as possible.

While options like Fairphone exist, the most sustainable phone is to just use your current one longer - with the state of smartphones nowadays they really shouldn’t have much of a problem lasting 4-5 years. The next sustainable thing is to buy used for an upgrade :)
