Oh I was pretty sure the FP4 was released in 2022 as I got a 5 years warranty that will end up in 2027.

I like Fairphone’s mission but kinda feel meh about their execution. Don’t get me wrong they probably do better than everyone else. But releasing a phone per year isn’t great for the environment. Removing the headphone jack wasn’t for ecological reasons. Making tiny earbuds isn’t in hand with easy reparability. And you can’t upgrade anything !

I wish they will slow the pace for a release every 2 years with better upgradability. I also wish they would work with GrapheneOS so the hardware and firmware are secure enough for the Graphene team to work on that device.

But nice that the brand is still alive. I hope they won’t go too much into green washing.

Paper wallet (actually stainlesssteel wallet) because :

I don’t want my Monero private key to be stored on proprietary software aka Ledger I don’t feel confident trusting Trezor because their CoinJoin implementation and the Blockchain Analyst partner of Wasabi (providing the CJ), also expensive honestly MoneroSeedSigner is interesting but it is a signer device and does not store the key, also vulnerable to some attacks that I don’t feel confident personally. Kastello looks dead or gowing nowhere, please correct me if I’m wrong The Monero Passport fork is promising, a bit expensive but will see how it evolves

I wantto setup an encrypted microSD card backup for my seed. But I need to take the time to do that correctly.

I think you confuse security and privacy. Samsung are pretty secure from what I saw. They are not private at all however. You can debloat it with adb and maybe tools such as Universal Android Debloater.

There is a couple of guide such as this one: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1402380-ultimate-samsung-oneui-debloat-privacy-customization-guide/
