UPDATE
Additional coverage today.
> The Fairpohone 4 now supports Ubuntu Touch. The smartphone, which is known for its high level of repairability, can install the operating system using the latest version of UBPorts' installer. (UBPorts is the team that picked up maintenance and development of Ubuntu Touch after Canonical dropped the project.)
> This update makes the Fairphone 4 the first smartphone running Android 11 that supports Ubuntu Touch.
> The Fairphone 4 is a solid mind-ranger with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of storage. The main draw, however, is its spectacular hardware support; the Fairphone 4's design allows users to open it up and replace any of the parts inside. Fairphone sells spare parts directly to consumers and makes repair manuals and guides available.
