$800 is not much more expensive than the Fairphone. Also, the next generation of Pinephones (Pinephone Pro) has been discontinued, because Pine64 don't want to support any firmware/driver development and rely on volunteers too much.
It is $800 but the hardware is nowhere near equal, since Fairphone are usibg newer standards (for midrange 2026 smartphones).
You'd also have issues running backwards compatible applications. You won't have such issue on /e/, SFOS, or GrapheneOS. Of these, /e/ works on Fairphone. SFOS recently got released for latest Jolla smartphone, and GrapheneOS continues being a good option for Google Pixel and perhaps Motorola in near future.
