    I’ll still hop to Fairphone after my current phone dies. I would miss a great camera the most but a decent camera is still a decent camera. At least I’m the boss over my own phone, I’m so fed up with not being able to swap out parts myself like with a normal desktop.

      Meh, most phones (except iPhones) aren’t really that difficult to swap a battery out or something. The easy removable battery is nice, but you can change the battery on any Android phone with a bit of patience, time and heat.

      Beyond the battery, the fairphone looks…pretty much the same inside from any other Android I’ve taken apart, the battery adhesive is the most difficult part once you’re inside the phone, everything else is easy. So it’s really not worth the performance compromises IMO

      For what it’s worth, that is where I thought Linus was wrong.

      The camera is completely fine. I did the mkbhd camera test for many many samples and fairphone, for me personally, was ranked just below the pixel out of all the phones. Except I think in lowlight where is was 7th or so.

      I think compared to their previous phones, the 5 is quite decent as far as cameras. The lack of wireless charging and headphone jack kills it for me though.
