Software and setup choices
- Installed OS: Ubuntu Touch for Fairphone 3 (device target FP3), a mobile Linux system using the Lomiri interface.
- Root choices: Magisk, APatch and KernelSU are Android root managers and are not part of this Ubuntu Touch offering. Linux administrative access is managed through Ubuntu Touch’s own tools.
- Google apps: the standard setup has no Android Google Play package. Native apps come from the Ubuntu Touch ecosystem. Waydroid availability and Android-app support depend on the exact port; it is not an included guarantee of Play Store, banking or DRM compatibility.
Bootloader state
Android-origin Ubuntu Touch installations require the device-specific unlocked or modified boot environment. No Android root manager is installed, but that does not mean the original locked Android boot state is restored. Do not relock after flashing Ubuntu Touch.
Compatibility to check before ordering
- UBports currently marks these features as not working for the documented release: Fingerprint reader.
- Features marked as only partially working: LTE calling (VoLTE). Read the linked port notes for the precise restrictions.
- Check voice-call support with your mobile network before buying. Mobile data and signal reception do not guarantee LTE voice calls on this port.
Updates and support
Use Settings → Updates for the installed Ubuntu Touch release and channel. Follow the port’s migration instructions for a new Ubuntu base; do not apply generic desktop Ubuntu distribution upgrades or flash another device’s images. Back up your data first.
Condition and what is included
- Preloved / Used: previously owned and function-tested; visible cosmetic wear may be present.
- Like New: previously owned, with minimal cosmetic wear. This is a used-device grade.
- Battery capacity above is the original hardware specification, not a measurement of the supplied unit’s battery health. Used batteries can have reduced capacity.
