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?

More repairable compared to pretty much everything released nowadays, but no 3.5 jack. And yap, the latter part sucks

Although, to me those scores don't mean shit. Like damn, smth like 1+ 5(t) requires to remove just a few more screws to do the same stuff (yap, on mine I replaced the display, battery, and that flexpcb with ports 2-3 times). Yeah, okay, it's still has decent 7/10; but wait, what's that, crapple phone 14+ also has 7/10... Do I need to elaborate on why it's bullshit? Just software pairing alone should automatically mean negative final mark

Aaand then we have 1+ 6, which gets 5/10 despite internally being pretty much the same as op5 except the back being glass and not proper metal.
