not to rain on your parade, but F5 is a downgrade from 7a in practically every aspect.
I'm aware of the glued shut aspect and there are solutions for that nowadays. getting a SDM870 and better SoC for under $100 with tons of RAM and storage, for me is more than a worthwhile trade off.
on the other hand, it's perfectly understandable if you don't want to dick around with all that and/or want to support Fairphone's mission.
Hopefully his 7a doesn't die tomorrow, and by then Fairphone has managed to put out Something that's at least reasonably better than 7a.
When I bought my Fairphone, I was simply too fed up with working around the intentional shittiness of the other companies.
I prefer to deal with some technical limitations, than have to deal with intentional ones.
I use Arch BTW.
