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?
You can technically. But you might not get service in certain areas because it doesn’t have support for all of the US bands.
I came really close to importing one until I found I couldn’t use 5g, and there’d be very little LTE support for T-Mobile.
Ended up getting a Pixel 8, hopefully they can get it to the US sooner than they did the FP4.
Ive been considering GrapheneOS. I only really use Banking, Android Auto and occasionally Maps from the play store (although I LOVE Organic Maps).
Graphene doesn’t and won’t ever support android auto, sadly, it’s the only thing I miss
Edit: well, that’s what they said, but now it’s optionally available!
I’ve had a fine time with GOS so far. If you just want to lessen Googles grip on you instead of going balls deep on security/privacy, it’s been just as fine as a stock rom. You can install play services as a normal ass app sandboxed and control it’s perms to get your push notifications and if an app doesn’t work out the box there’s a compatibility mode that lessens the GOS behind the scenes workings so it’ll run.
I don’t have any map app yet, but all my banking apps work (one with compatibility mode) and haven’t had any issues with anything so far.
