A bit late. It's more that two years old, and it's based on a SoC that was a year old when it was launched

I'm actually in Europe, so no need for that for me. But it doesn't have great specs, nor apparently great security, so I'm leaning towards a Pixel with GrapheneOS for my next phone.

Damn. If the FP5 has a decent camera and video out, I will buy it. I drool over the idea of a phone with fully open source Android ROM (or if/when Linux+Gnome mobile is ready) that I can turn into a full desktop when docked. And I want the manufacturer to enable me to do this, and not try to block me from doing it.

I dream of Mobile Arch + Gnome + Waydroid, but I guess banking & payments will forever be out of the question.

I’ve been wanting to get this phone in Canada for a while. Hoping it will be up for sale here too.. or the next gen version

Same! I can't wait for this to come to North America, hopefully it comes to Canada as well.

If Canada uses the same bands as the rest of NA (and I assume it does) you should be able to get one remailed to you, no?

I might have to check out one of these when I get a new phone

Oh shit WHAT? Thats dope! I'd been waiting for this, I guess I'll have to see how the next fairphone stacks up against the zenphone 10!

I thought the Fair phones had SD card slots? I skimmed through and didn't see any mention

Interesting that the Co. thats owns Reddit is also getting their Condi magazine stories inside the Fedi.
