I'm in the US and bought one. Put LineageOS on it, and I'm really enjoying it. It has like double the battery life of my old phone, and I don't know if that's because of the phone or because none of my apps are constantly uploading my personal data.

CalyxOS

Relocked bootloader for security, banking apps in seperate user profits, built-in work profiles for the more needed but shit apps.

I am loving it on my fairphone 6 so far, and the flasher tool was very easy and it automatically triggers the locking steps so you can't mess it up.

My Sony's battery lasts a week in sparse use with /e/OS. It was the surveillance wasting energy.

Which sony runs e/os? I like their phones, had no idea they were compatible with e/os

Several are able to run Lineage (I believe a lot of the 1 series as well as a couple of the 5 and 10 series too), and since e/OS is based on Lineage, they can more easily support it. Check the link the other person commented!
