Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

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.

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.

There’s no GrapheneOS support for it, but CalyxOS is going to support it.

The specs are not worth 700€

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.
