Fairphone comes with standard Android? Unlocking the Fairphone to get a de-googled Android is easy for someone somewhat technically inclined.
My understanding was that the entire point of Fairphone was not to be under the thumb of a corporation and that would allow us to use our device how we want for as long as we want. If it was designed to be married to a corporation, that would make me distrust Fairphone as well.
In a way it does, but by default it comes with a fairly standard android. It's more about the hardware modules and repairability than about the software.
Standard Android sounds fine to me. That's to be expected. Bloatware would be unexpected.
No bloatware that I can recall!
