If FairPhone would choose saving the world or building a great Linux phone, one or the other, they might do better. Pinephone at least has a good price for essentially the same phone, but it has a website suggesting that the company hasn't advanced beyond beta.

I own both and I can tell you you can't compare.

The Fairphone works (with Android). The Pinephone does not "work", it's a toy. Does not keep a charge, no OS works correctly, many can't even... phone. The Pinephone seems mostly to want to be a hardware that let people develop an OS, but that OS - at least the last time I tried - is not yet even at beta level.
