While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I would buy one if they shipped globally and it was about 100-150€ cheaper. The specs are not worth 700€. I would also need official GrapheneOS support as well.

    That's what those specs are worth if everyone who's part of it gets compensated for their work appropriately.

    Imagine the price of a Galaxy S23 if Samsung actually was fair to everyone involved.

    It wasn't free. You paid for it

    Someone gifted you a phone and you are not paying them money at all?

    Agree with the message but not with the tone. I buy used phones from eBay and they are awesome. Like $100 for a newish device.
