Well, seeing as my first pick was the Skyline 2, something that runs a very mainline tracker filled android. Murena’s OS is leaps ahead of it for security.

Edit: as far as the choice between the Skyline 2 and the Fairphone 6, both have similar capabilities, and each has a design that is nice for different reasons.

The Skyline 2 doesn’t have as much long term support but is noticeably cheaper.

Far as Murena itself. As an American if I want a Fairphone 6 my choices are spend close to $900 buying an imported one from ebay where I don’t get a warranty and start with a close to vanilla android. Or, I buy from Murena and get a phone with a more secure OS and very importantly, the best smart phone warranty on the US market for $900 + shipping. There isn’t really a contest.

I think that’s a totally fair mindset. I simply started with a rooted LinageOS device where I was in control and ended up here with less control but better security… It’s more stable and simple, but lacking customisation
