      ... was the subject of a question recently...

      Qualcomm Snapdragon 632
      4GB RAM
      64GB + microSD card slot

      USB Type - C

      ... does it look as if it's got fairly UBports-friendly specs?

        @3arn0wl Think it's more down to the version of Android involved, if it's 9 its a problem according to the last Q&A.

          Ah! It does appear to be running Android 9. Well that's a pity.

          Thanks @Lakotaubp

            At least it has an unlockable bootloader, though.

            I guess selling an Android phone now with a version below 9 would be insane for any company.

              There is a thread on the Fairphone forum stating Open OS will come later: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp3-fairphone-open-os/52301

                Still not much in the way of LTE bands that would work on most American carriers. Pity, as there are many here who would be interested in a more sustainable phone, even if they're unable to break a Google or Android addiction.

                  FYI the kernel source code of the FP3 just has been released, see https://code.fairphone.com/projects/fairphone-3-gpl.html

                  It has also been added to a git repo to be easily browsable: https://github.com/FairphoneMirrors/android_kernel_fairphone_sdm632

                    πŸ™‚ Thanks for that @Fla.

                    No doubt they're working on getting Fairphone Open to work on it, and would like to see UT customers too...

                        What does this news mean for UBPorts? Does it make the Hallium route possibe/likely, or might it turn the FairPhone into a Linux phone like the PinePhone?? (Or neither)

                          @3arn0wl It is just GPL compliance release of kernel and modifications I think. AFAIK, it does not include open source drivers, so would of course still need Android binary drivers and Halium.

                              @3arn0wl Someone needs to finish Halium 9 (or was it 10 what FP3 has now)... Its in progress but will take for sure still some months...

                                  The Fairphone 3 runs with Android 9. An upgrade to 10 is planned but without ETA.

                                    Fairphone has announced the FP3+ / Kamera+ Update with an 48 and 16 MP camera modules.

                                    At least one company gets it.

                                        Maybe Fairphone, or somebody else, will make a replacement motherboard for it, so that it can run Linux UT like the pinephone dies. That would make it the ideal device.

                                          @Keneda Yes but, you dont have to buy a new phone to get a better camera. thats acutally quite cool. You just buy the modules and change it.

                                            I know that, they did the same for fairfone 2.
                                            I'm just saying ^^
