I love the idea of the fair phone but I hate the degoogling of it. Like I don’t love Google but they are so embedded into my phone that it’s pointless to try to change. I use a google voice number and thus all calls or texts I take are processed by Google. Going through the pain of not having the play store would just be a headache for no benefit. Not to mention email. I have 2 TB of google drive storage and transferring that is going to be a headache, not to mention something like proton mail only has 500 GB as it’s very top offering of storage.
I’ll happily degoogle myself when it becomes realistic to do so but right now there aren’t any real competitors to any of these services.

Murena comes with microG and its own Play Store front-end so you can still install Play Store apps if you really want to.
