I want to see a european-made repairable flagship phone with pmos pre-installed with Wero wallet support.
Check out Fairphone! Its really promising on the hardware side of things. I ordered mine with /e/os a couple days ago

But we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good; buying a Fairphone with /e/ os is definitely a huge step in the right direction. Congratulations, and I hope it all goes well for you.

Wero is only supported in very few countries atm, which is sad cause it does have the potential
