The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

I'm on my 5th year with my Oneplus 6.

I suspect I'd I do a full wipe, a new OS and a fresh battery I should be able to keep it going for a couple more.

Phones plateaued for me. It runs fast. It holds more then enough data.

Camera is a little slow. I've been told to stop using the default camera app. But then the double click to open won't work.

Same, running a xiaomi mi 6 since early 2018 with LineageOS and it's still perfect for me. Sure, new phones have better cameras and screen but the difference is not that noticeable. I'm using a google camera app so that improves the pictures significantly so that compensates for my needs
