What OS is it running and do we get better hardware security features? Any alternative OS compatible?

[–] tfm 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's running stock Android. I suppose it will also support /e/ OS like the previous ones.

[–] Mucki@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

It is officially supported by /e/OS https://shop.fairphone.com/fairphone-e-operating-system I guess Lineage OS will follow soon.

Didn't find any detailed info on the hardware.
