Always interested in new Fairphone releases! I cannot justify a new phone while my Samsung S10 is still alive and kicking but I do think a bit about what I will replace it with when it finally dies. I am very much drawn to the Fairphone, but the price to quality ratio is quite high compared to the mainstream flagship phones (of course, I understand why). And when the company is young it is hard to know how credible the repairability promise is. The other phone I lean towards is a second-hand Pixel (somewhere in the Pixel 7-9 range most likely).

Would be very interested to see how much of an improvement it is over the FP5. Fairphones seem to get negative reviews but I think that is due to people not really being able to look past the price-to-quality ratio compared to phones that don't care about ethics.
