I'd say a Fairphone is better supported than a Nexus (no experience with Oneplus). For example, the Nexus 5 is no longer supported, even by lineage (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hammerhead/), although they do say:

> A build guide is available for developers that would like to make private builds, or even restart official support.

Edit: I should add that although I've already ordered my Fairphone 3 I've not had a chance to actually test it out yet. If anyone is interested I can post a 25 EUR discount referral link?

I currently use the Oneplus One, ie the first phone they brought out, 5 years ago. It still has lineageOS support.
I'd be interested! Thinking of getting one even though I'm in the US, I've heard with tmobile you can get 3g which is aight

I'm not sure they are supported in the US but it looks like you are well aware of that.

The Nexus 5 is one of the best supported devices for running postmarketOS right now.
