Ok. Next time I go to Europe, I'm buying a Fairphone.

Unless you're happy with a very mediocre phone - please don't. I very much applaud the idea behind fairphone, but the years I had my fairphone 3 were full of frustration.

Got Fairphone 5 but I can only compare it to my old phone, a Samsung Galaxy A3 I've used for about 13 years. Main complaint is the speaker: points down and sounds worse than my old phone. 90Hz OLED looks great. Perhaps it's mediocre too in comparison to modern phones but I want to avoid using proprietary software. Most phones might as well not even exist.

I wanted a case that covers the screen but Fairphone only have a side cover. Got lucky with one from a 3rd party but it doesn't turn off the screen when I close the cover like my old phone case did. I assume that had a chip in it or there's a software setting I've not found.

Also, I didn't know I could get it with /e/ already installed so I've been trying out stock Android in the meanwhile.

Samsung was pretty much one of the only manufacturers installing hall sensors under the display to detect the magnets in their flip cases. I think they stopped including that sensor around the time they got rid of the hardware home button. Their latest tablets still do include a case sensor AFAIK, not sure if it's the same hall effect one or something else though.

As a side note I miss those cases with the small window, was pretty cool to be able to just flip the lid, see the time, then stuff the phone away

That's a damn shame. I guess modern phones auto wakeup with fingerprint readers or face recognition?
