I’m thinking of getting a fairphone in the future. I like that they are modular and last a while. Are they easily customizable to where I can flash a different ROM? Is the default configuration private?

Fairphone also at least tries to create / source their phones fairly. Not important in terms of privacy, but somewhat explains the higher price tag.
Bless fairphone’s intentions but isn’t it better to buy 2nd hand?
2nd hand fairphone
That’s a good alternative, yeah.
Not really, buying 2nd hand implies that people still buy 1st hand. The second hand market is subsidizing the 1st hand market.
