I’m thinking of getting a fairphone in the future. I like that they are modular and last a while. Are they easily customizable to where I can flash a different ROM? Is the default configuration private?

I know that for a fact that you can’t install GrapheneOS on it, but CalyxIS is available for the Fairphone, then flash that and you’ll have full protection, minus mandatory communication services that are require to use any kind of a smartphone.
