It's not clear to me how many of the components are swappable in this version. That was a big selling point of the Fairphone to begin with.

The technical descriptions are clearly lacking, up to the point where this product page almost makes me angry... the dimensions seem to be "156.5mm x 73.3mm" with "9,6 mm" thickness, but just right below in the isometric view it says 162mm x 75.5mm x 10.5mmm. I would be really interested in this product as replacement for the iPhone SE, but how can they screw up something so simple?

Anything above 72mm is too big to use it comfortable by one hand or put it in pocket.

I wish there is compact android phone with open bootloadet option.

I also wish there were more compact options, but the Pixel 8 is 71mm wide and you can unlock the bootloader. And if you're gonna run a custom ROM, the Pixel 5 is still a decent option.

True, but if you don't want to give your money to google or use anything from them (why would I need custom ROM?), then your options are quite limited.
