I was/am definitely considering fairphone as a full european alternative, however it seems they are also plagued by support issues and delays and pixels are still the best way to go, unfortunately.

If you're comfortable with Custom ROMs, the Fairphone is still a fantastic alternative

If you're not, then nothing-phone is british

How often do you really need the support, though? I don't think I've ever needed it in >10 years of owning smart phones. I personally couldn't be happier with the fairphone.

I don't get why people recommend nothing phone. They promise less years of software updates than most major brands and the best they do differently is "it's sustainable". Whatever that means.

don’t get me wrong. it’s definitely on my top 2 , however getting timely android updates is nice and the improvements are nice to have.
You don’t really need them and given current ai centered updates, I can’t say they are that meaningful anymore, however pixels have android 15 and will be getting 16 soon, with that whole DeX thingy, while fairphone is releasing statement about how they will skip 14, so their flagship is still on 13… Not great.
