A little bigger, eight years of support, ability to repair when things break. Still no headphone jack and the AMOLED display is a regression. Expensive but doesn’t use slave labor so that’s good. I’ll stick with the FP4

I wouldn’t use a Fairphone ever since I do find the headphone jack necessary but also I find their reasoning very slimy and manipulative. They claimed they removed it to reduce waste (I don’t see how taking people’s options away does that at all, seems like BS) but it happened right before they started selling Bluetooth airbuds, which ironically aren’t repairable since the battery can’t be replaced nondestructively.
So in essence they’re claiming environmental sustainability but really it’s likely they’re just saying that so they can line their pockets and sell more of their Bluetooth earbuds, which I remind you can’t really be repaired so they’re garbage once the batteries in them wear out.
