ISO-8601 exists for a reason and is better.

This is the sorta randomness I wish we got more of on the internet.

Yes it does.

You never have to explain to family what you broke. You do have to explain it to the guy scraping your ass off the pavement so they find all your pieces.

American FP4 user here.

You may actually be fine, check the 5G bands in use with your national regulatory body and see if there are any missing parts. State side, T-mobile is the only carrier I can use and their 5G bands are missing pieces of what the phone thinks are avalable channels. It corrects them quickly enough for buffered data to have no issues but it drops calls randomly when switching towers… also T-mobiles network is sorta sucky…

If your country uses GSM, order an EU phone, slap in a sim card on a network that accepts unlocked devices and you should be good to go. If you are on CDMA, wait till Q1 2024 and order one from the states. There are plans to include a custom security and privacy focused android ROM with it, but im happy with my organic euro phone dispite its quirks.

You insensitive clod.

Seconding the Fairphone.

FP4 is coming to America in Q4, I ordered one from the EU last year and it will work just fine everywhere else in the world, it has quirks in the US.

Enjoy your organic smart phone.

US FP4 user here, I ordered the EU model and had it shipped over, works well enough, minor radio issues and a lack of carriers (Im locked to T-mobile). Im very excited for the US release as I can then recommend the phone to others who dont have to pay the adopters tax.
