I've had my hands on Fairphones and SHIFT phones. Build quality seems similar.

I'd still get a Fairphone, as they put a lot of effort into open source and being part of the community. They also seem to make slightly more robust devices.

No idea for how long Shift guarantee updates, but Fairphone guarantees updates for many years. Last I checked it was eight years.

BTW, I recently got myself a USB-C charger from Fairphone and the build quality is really good. No doubt it will still work in two years and longer. The price is also decent.

Of all of those, Punkt is the only one with a headphone jack.

What about SailfishOS?

I use it and it’s really nice.

That's just some Linux userspace with an Android container and an Android kernel. It is mostly still Android.

I don't expect them to support devices for very long.

Nopein fact, Jolla with SailfishOS is the only one among those mentioned that uses an OS independently developed.

Hmm… are you sure?

In their docs they say it uses the Linux Kernel and bridges other Linux libraries including those used in Android.

It does provide a way to install Android apps in a sandbox.

They have their own hardware phones and do support some Sony Xperia phones, which is the one I have.

Sailfish is based on MeeGo and Moblin and itself has been around for almost 15 years.
