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 really like the idea of these phones and I’d really buy one of my employer wasn’t providing me a phone and allowing me to use it for my private stuff.

    Of course, it might be expensive for the hardware, but just look at the price of a non repairable and non ethical iPhone.

      I’d jump on the Fairphone first thing if not having a single tie to an advertising/tracking company was an option. But here we are.

      Also when visiting Fairphone forums, I get “This community is not accessible in your location.”

      It is still a business and a business is gonna business, thus never gonna be as ethical as one would want.

        Thanks for the advice, but I’ve already thought about it a lot and I see more advantages than inconveniences. But if course I agree with you about the risks involved.
