      I wish I could pay more to make a phone I am buying more ethical.

      Good news, you (probably) can! Find a flagship phone you like from a year to three ago, and go buy a gently used one. Buying things used is almost always better for the environment than buying them new.

        So far I can’t find anything that fits me better than a CMF Nothing Phone.

        $240.

        Fairly powerful hardware for that price range.

        Apparently capable of running e/OS

        A shape that has actual flat, easily gripable edges, as opposed to seemingly everything else that is completely rounded.

        (I’ve got a serious wrist/hand injury to my dominant hand, and that makes this last one pretty important)

        Is there anything comparable for all or most of those features, in that price range, capable of being either de googled android, or running an open source and/or privacy oriented os?

        I’ve attempted to look for such a phone, and basically everything is either double or more the cost.

    Why are they including the samsung galaxy book, which is a laptop but not samsung phones, in a mobile phone comparison?

    How is Google Pixel that low? They have good software support and support third party roms like GraphineOS better than nearly any other manufacturer.

    Data is always beautiful if you cherry pick the data you want.

    This is like judging how beautiful someone is by only looking at their hands.

      Eh, if you leave out Fairphone the scoring range is realistic.

      And Fairphone is specifically tailored to reach the highest realistically possible ethics standards. No wonder they crush this. The downside is that their phones are quite expensive relative to phones of comparable power.

    Yeah, yeah, the Fairphone is very fair until you’re forced to use their software because they’re unable to collaborate with GrapheneOS because they leak keys, all their bootloader security is bullshit and they don’t care about making it right.

    I’ve been using a shiftphone for the last ~5 years. I wonder where they would land on the ranking. They should als do fairly well.
