I'm loving my Fairphone 3! Upgraded the camera modules to the 3+ camera, and changed the charging port once after water damage. Also used /e/ for a while, but back to stock now.
The improved camera of the Fairphone 5 looks tempting (also OLED), but can't justify upgrading when my Fairphone 3 ia still perfectly fine. I guess it'll have to wait until 5G becomes an absolute necessity and I'm left with no choice. :)
I heard you'll be waiting a while. I remember seeing videos and stuff that 5G capabilities are overpromised.
In the city I live in 4G/3G is actually a little spotty already, while 5G is working great. But I think that's just Italian infrastructure rather than the old networks being phased out already...
