Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

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?

We talked about this a while back. Curious if people’s thoughts have changed since then on the Fairphone 5.

    1. Charging
    2. Companies keep shoving Bluetooth headphones down our throats, which are causing huge amounts of ewaste as the batteries are irreplaceable.

      Point 2 is incredibly frustrating. That the ewaste problem has become so much better understood and yet the trend is to keep creating more of it.

      I think Pine64 is making Bluetooth earbuds, but like their other stuff it aims to be super hackable and fixable. Wish that was the norm instead of solvent welding.
