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?

I really like the idea of these phones and I’d really buy one of my employer wasn’t providing me a phone and allowing me to use it for my private stuff.

Of course, it might be expensive for the hardware, but just look at the price of a non repairable and non ethical iPhone.

I would recommend getting a personal device. Using employer-owned devices for private use is a liability to both yourself and your employer, and it's exposing yourself to serious breaches by your employer.

Thanks for the advice, but I’ve already thought about it a lot and I see more advantages than inconveniences. But if course I agree with you about the risks involved.
