The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…

If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

    No it sucks don’t get it.

    If you’re serious about privacy and can tolerate apple stuff, get an iphone. If you’re serious about privacy and would prefer android you’re pretty much stuck with one of the pixel phones and graphene.

    I went with an iphone last time I made this choice. The degree of difference wasn’t enough for me and I keep an android device for stuff that requires it anyway. Your mileage may vary but my recommendation is to get the device with the widest install base if you want it to last. Something’s gonna break but getting parts will be easier for idk a nexus 5 or iphone se than a blue branded tablet.
