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 like the concept, but without a truly open OS; like pinephone is doing with GNU/Linux, it’s still a device controlled by the most powerful company on the planet.
As a pine64 fan ( proud owner of pinecill and quartz64 as daily drivers ) , i rooting for them and the pinephone. I like the idea of a linux phone, but unsure how stable and functional it is. Specially with official documents/websites needing certain apps ( government document signing, 2fa, … ).
Still, awesome idea
Currently you can get /e/OS for the FP5. The FP3 and 4 are well supported by LineageOS and Ubuntu so I’m hopeful that they’ll be coming to the FP5 too. In the meantime I’m loving the device itself. If Lineage isn’t out for it by New Year I’ll be trying /e/.
This is not the function of the phone.

They meant Google. There are truly open OSes that are not quite so captured: https://itsfoss.com/open-source-alternatives-android/
You might be in the wrong subreddit buddy, I’m sorry. If you type ‘Elon Musk’ into the search bar, you can find your way back to the bubble maybe.
