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 mean, you can't find replacement parts sold separately for most 10+ year old devices, especially consumer grade. Suggesting that you should be able to buy replacement parts for tube TVs is kind of an overkill, and I think 8 years for a mobile phone is a great deal. Don't go into extremes.

Also, yes, I assumed you know about a brand if you decide to talk about it.
