The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

I'm on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.

I suspect I'd I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.

Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.

Camera is a little slow. I've been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won't work.

This is exactly what I did on my OP7 (only 4 years old). A new battery, a new USB port and a new back (thank you OnePlus for the back in glass).

I installed another ROM... And the only drawback on that "brand new" phone is that the camera is slow and not as good than the stock one ( even with Gcam or others derivative).
