Just bought a Fairphone 5 and installed /e/os myself through their adb script (they only had normal android ones in stock). So far, it works flawlessly and even managed to install my bank app. I haven't tried wallet as don't tend to use it. Everything else works and not missing the Samsung s22 ultra I moved from.

Pretty snappy. There's no bloat at all and you're in full control on what's on there so it's been quite nice. I haven't noticed anything being slow. The default launcher is very like an iPhone but I would've always switched to lawnchair and put as many foss apps as I can for all the usual stuff so the experience day to day is very similar to my old phone at less than half the cost new.

I'm thinking of doing the same with my current Android FP5. Does it wipe everything or are you able to keep some apps during the process?

I'm not sure as installed it on a brand new phone, sorry
