This is nice - I’ve been using Fairphones for a while: I started with a Fairphone 2 and used it for 7 years until the OS end-of-life, and now I’m on the Fairphone 5. Maybe with things being more open it can keep going for longer this time

Well, in normal operation, it’s a very standard Android phone. The OS out of the box is vanilla android (although it’s easy to put a custom ROM on if you want). The camera is fine but not spectacular - I still use a dedicated camera if I care about a picture, but it’s fine for random snapshots. Basically, if it came in a white box that just said “phone” on it, it’s what you’d expect to be inside, except for the fact you can take it apart and put it back together.
After using the 5 for a couple of years, I don’t really have any complaints other than it’s a bit too easy to double-tap the power button. The battery life has held up, and I still don’t feel the need to swap it out yet.
On my FP2, I had to replace the screen. The way it happened was a good example for why repairable phones are good. It was broken but still usable, so I ordered the new screen, then swapped it out in a minute or so after it arrived; basically no downtime.
