Your Phone Runs Google or Apple. Does It Have To? - eurotechguide - Independent analysis of European digital services and digital sovereignty.

I replaced my Samsung S24 with a Fairphone 6 running /e/OS and used it as my daily work phone. Here's whether a de-Googled smartphone holds up for professional use.

It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

    I saw an interview with Gäel Duval about /e/OS. It left a good impression of the software. It seems ready and supports banking apps. I’ll look into Jolla too. Thanks for the post.

      I have /e/os and I’m mostly very happy with it. The only app that didn’t work so far was my mail app but I could connect my account with their integrated app.

        That’s very helpful, thank you. I have the impression that /e/OS is more suited to me. I love Linux and in theory prefer Jolla, but as I get older I need things to just work, including a few accessibility features.
