Question about Fairphone 3

If they handle it the way they did with the Fairphone 2, there will even be an Android without the Google rubbish. That's what I call plain Android. Android 10 is less important. Besides, the device should last a long time, like the Fairphone 2, and not necessarily follow all the hype about operating systems.

Android 9 with Google apps is installed by default. There is no vanilla version (yet). Personally, I find that OK. In any case, better than, for example, Sony, where the OS is cluttered with Sony apps, FB, Spotify and others.

"The operating system used here is Android 9.0 "Pie" in a largely unchanged version, although it is to be hoped that Fairphone will manage a relatively prompt update to Android 10."
