      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...

                  πŸ™‚ thanks for this, @Fla.
                  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 ^^

                                        Hi people !

                                        Is there already something going on for the FP3 to get Ubuntu?

                                        Just my question, cause i buyed one 3 weeks ago and i love the wonderful idea behind it.
                                        And i love it more, since the Company is huilding up new camera modules, man, what a great time to be alive ! :dove:

                                        Thanks and stay healthy !

                                          That question came up in the FP2 UBports Telegram group the other day. Someone is working on it and will post here in the forum at some point.

                                          I did try myself some time ago but couldn't manage. There still might be useful information at https://forum.fairphone.com/t/ubuntu-touch-gsi-for-the-fairphone-3/61569?u=ingo
