Freedom. The only band it lacks for their Torontario network is band 13. I decided to risk it because Freedom used to run the network without band 13 until a few years ago. So I reason the coverage without it should be similar to the before time. That means a bit of a downgrade in signal and probably battery, given that band 13 is lower power, longer range fequency. But then again the FP’s modem is Qualcomm so it may end up being more power efficient than the turd in my Pixel. So I decided to try it out.
Where are you? What OS?
Ontario, Canada. Ordered from Clove UK. Stock Fairphone OS.
What did it cost you including any shipping costs?
CAD $889 shipped. Then CAD $127 in duties to DHL. CAD $1015 total.
Thanks for the reply. I’m also in Canada, and yeah that’s a lot. I hope you love it!
What apps are pre-installed? Anything other than the stock Google stuff?
Minimum set of Google apps, Fairphone’s cam and “My Fairphone.” That’s about it.
Which provider? I’ve avoided FP because I wasn’t sure the big three would support

Awesome, thx! I might have to try one out for my next phone cuz I love the ethos. Enjoy! 😊
Write another reply to my comment in a few weeks to ask how the real world testing on cellular has gone. I’ll get a notification and reply.
