Fairphone 6 has just released! If you’re based in the US, the only way you can get is with Murena’s e/OS/, a significant markup, and limited support among some network carriers.

I don’t usually pay attention to Murena’s website, but I stumbled across this as well:

You can also get the Nothing CMF phone as well? All without supporting the Pixel 9 series at all.

Murena appears to be focused on installing e/OS/ on these two phones rather than competing with Calyx and GOS entirely.

Good:

- Proper smartphone ARM v9 SoC (Qualcomm Snapdragon SM7635), not some cheap IoT chip like with the Fairphone 5

Bad:

- Still no secure element
- No MTE

Gonna be the [same awful track record](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp-security-updates-need-to-be-more-frequent/91035/844) of 1-3 month delay in updates on stock too.

Do you know how big update delays are for Samsung, Xiaomi or other vendor’s stock OS?

I really wish grapheneos supported fairphone. It also looks like these are specific to tmobile network, which isnt great where I live.

ARM Memory Tagging Extension. It’s an important security mitigation for some classes of memory safety bugs.
