Fairphone 2-6 and Shiftphone 6 & 8 have relatively good pmos support for newer phones.
According to this recent post it seems one brave developer just made the microphone work with PMOS on FP6 and it does not yet work for calls. It looks quite far from being ready for the average user. https://ani.social/post/33936031
I factored in Mighty Cat’s recent driver upgrades into my calculations.
It seems on average the 6 Fairphone models are 64% functional while the Fairphone 6 is 73% the way there. Quite impressive for a year old phone.
I don't know if I can get either a shift or fairphone here in the U.S.
You can order a fairphone through Murena
Okay, thanks!
