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 went with pixel 8 Pro and graphene os, but I did consider fp.

Can you even use a new fp in the US?

If it works it's likely not supported officially by any carrier (this probably also applies to Canada and possibly Mexico), but it's at least not for sale in the US. Not sure if it's sold to all of Europe or just the EU/EEZ however.

Yeah I'm a techie but not super well versed in mobile tech so I didn't want to roll the dice. I'm happy with graphene os on my pixel though, and supposed to get 8 years of support out of it.

I was happy with my s20+ but EOL on it was in like Feb so I jumped on black Friday when I could trade in and pay $500 for an 8 Pro.
