Hope you guys don't mind me posting this in this community. Upvote or downvote if you like or dislike it.

Particularly would love a Fairphone. Have considered buying from https://clove.co.uk/ and have considered asking if friends in Europe would be willing to ship.

But before I do, I want your opinions. Does anyone have any good options?

I'm not looking to buy a Pixel nor a Samsung of some cracked convenient store version of a smartphone.

Judging by your choices here, I would strongly suggest you dig into what these phones can actually do.

The punkt phones, for example, have an extremely cut down set of features and are more like a dumb phone.

Volla phones are not certified for north america, so you will not get volte or half the LTE bands.

There are a lot of nuances to getting off the big brands and changing devices isnt just about leaving google and apple.
