I am thinking about buying a fairphone. Is it less of a privacy nightmare than your typical Android phone?

I guess it depends on what operating system you decide to use…
(There’s also Shift who make a similar product : https://www.shiftphones.com/en/)
With shift flashing and rooting does not void warranty. With fairphone at least rooting does, don`t know about flashing tho. There is a community for degoogleing for sure tho.
Written from my fairphone after the Wifi chip on my shift died after 2.5 Years and it was to expensive to fix.

Source for that?
You must gain root privileges in order to flash anything; that’s what the oem unlock is for.
Whatever you flash has full access anyways.

I had this thread in mind however seems like I was partially wrong. But there does not seem to be a definitive answer.
Should have read the thread further the first time :D Sorry about that
