    They are definitely a good company with a very nice work environment & a cool headquarters in Amsterdam :) The people working there, from boss to interns are all the kind of people you’d enjoy having a beer with. However, for the time being, they are too small to have more than one model of a phone in parallel, so they go with a single product line, and upgrade it in each generation. If you are interested in their plans for the future w.r.t. linux phones, I would recommend registering on their community forums and asking - there’s a bunch of volunteers there (the Fairphone angels) who will be happy to give you a good summary of whatever previous statements the company has made :) Also, as part of the community, you might get a chance to visit the HQ, if you ever manage to come to Amsterdam in summer - they used to have an annual FP community meet-up (this is how I got to meet a bunch of people there), which was mainly postponed due to the pandemic. Not sure what the status is now.
