Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

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?

We talked about this a while back. Curious if people’s thoughts have changed since then on the Fairphone 5.

    I too would like a smallerphone as well. Bringing back the 3.5mm jack would be a bonus, but a smaller phone is higher on my priority list. Even better if it’s the same size as my old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.

        I actually upgraded to the Zenfone 8 from the XZ1C. I still miss the size as well as the dedicated camera shuttrr button. I also find it amazing that Sony went with a pull out sim tray. No more needing to poke a small pin just to eject it.

        If you care about installing custom roms, then don’t buy a Zenfone yet. Asus has us in the wait for the bootloader unlock tool for a year now, and I lost hope already :/
