The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…

If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

    Do not buy preloaded LineageOS or /e/ OS phones or any Android phones without proper Verified Boot support and firmware updates. These devices also have no way for you to check whether they’ve been tampered with.> from privacyguides.org

      Any of these “verified boot” phones ever get tested against million dollar Cellebrite kits, or is it just custom ROM hobbyist developer assurance that there is full bootloader protection against Evil Maid and such attacks?

      Last time I saw GrapheneOS lying about it:

        That isn’t an official GrapheneOS channel, it’s called PrivacyPhones. I doubt it’s a person involved with GrapheneOS trying to spread FUD or something. You could always go make questions on the official chatrooms.

          The same forum where Micay’s lies about swatting, years of claims of harassment and numerous other deeds are censored, not allowed to be questioned for evidence, and handed over bans for? Every such person affiliated with or bearing their logo has always, without exception, has ended up being either a member or benefiting party, throughout the years. Last year they even sent one spy in my r/privatelife Matrix chatroom (ryan97) to stalk me for months, until I kicked him out over his malicious attitude, only to find later that he was their plant siphoning all of my private chatroom’s chat logs.
