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?

They actually support their phones for years. You can even still get most parts of the Fairphone 2 which was released 8 years ago. New android versions are provided for a minimum of 5 years, often longer.

They also source their materials and labor as ethically as possible.

None of it is perfect of course, but considering the fucked up phone market, they're doing an amazing job.
