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?

No, it's because of batteries. At least for me. We're creating more ewaste by shoving Bluetooth earbuds down our throats due to no headphone jack.

Edit: Currently rocking the Pixel 7 Pro, and once I'm done with this phone (I hope to have it for at least 4 more years), I hope Sony still has headphone jacks on their phones. Since that's what I'll most likely go for.

My $350 Motorola phone has a headphone jack and an SD slot. And apparently superior build quality from what I've seen of my girlfriend's and coworker's P7s.

I too can vouch for Motorola. I have the 200$ G31 and it's got a headphone jack and micro-sd-slot. I'm very pleased with its quality and performance so far, and hope it lasts some years to come.

Honestly I feel that.

Same here. I work long shifts and know that some 200MAh batteries aren't going to cut it for long before being thrown in the trash. I have some nice BT headphones that I use at home or on flights but my primary pair are still wired.
