The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…

If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

    Depends on what you’re using the phone for. Personally, my usage isn’t very demanding, so having a phone that’s going to have security updates and a replaceable battery will probably let me use the phone for 5+ years.

    I probably won’t keep the phone for 10 years, but it means I can upgrade on my schedule, not just because some company decided for me.

      Honestly if that’s all you want an iPhone is your best option. Any iPhone will age much better than the latest Fairphone and you can get a new battery installed officially for super cheap at an Apple Store.
