How is the software experience with Fairphone? Is it generally pretty stable and bug free?
Android 12 still, and that just came a few months ago.
It's a minimal stock Android without any protection against pocket dialing or ghost touches. And updates are slow to come, although I think we are finally on the third month of consistent monthly updates. aptX is a shitshow at the best, broken at the worst, so bluetooth music listening isn't great, which is not a good thing for a device that got rid of the 3.5mm jack.
You are better off using CalyxOS on the Fairphone, which fixes all of those problems, except it doesn't have true Google Play services.
