From their newsletter:

📸 Premium 50MP Triple Camera System

The Fairphone 5 comes with a 50MP selfie camera, a 50MP main camera with a finely tuned Sony lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera for that perfect, cinematic shot.

⚙️ 8 Years of Software Updates

Packing a unique, long-life Qualcomm Octa-core chipset, the Fairphone 5 comes with clean Android 13, zero bloatware and at least five major software updates. That’s future-proof!

🎯 5 Years Warranty

The Fairphone 5’s modular design makes it super easy to repair by yourself. Add to that a five year warranty that’s twice the industry standard. The Fairphone 5 is definitely built to last.

  ♻️ Made fairer than ever

The Fairphone 5 is made with 70% fair and recycled materials in fair factories under fair working conditions and is a 100% electronic waste neutral. That’s fair!

No headphone jack on this type of device is unreal. I am still using my AKG Earbuds I got with my S8 which are now 5 years old. Meanwhile ask the first gen Airpod consoomers how they are doing.

Exactly. I still cannot fathom why a company which prides itself on sustainability ditch the headphone jack. Granted, I don't use the one on my phone often, but I'm very glad that it's there when I need it.

I dont know about the premium earbuds but as far as the cheap shit ones go wireless are longer lasting simply beacuse they dont have a wire that gets ripped off regulary. Still dosent excuse the removal of headphone jack tho.

You can get a USB-c to 3.5mm headphone adapter. I got one recently and it works just fine.

Meanwhile I've bought a few and they are all trash.

I can't charge my phone while using them. They cut in and out. I hate them.

I got one that allows charging while listening but there is an annoyingly audible buzz while doing so. Complete trash! If memory serves I think it was a UGREEN one from Amazon
