From their newsletter:

📸 Premium 50MP Triple Camera System

The Fairphone 5 comes with a 50MP selfie camera, a 50MP main camera with a finely tuned Sony lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera for that perfect, cinematic shot.

⚙️ 8 Years of Software Updates

Packing a unique, long-life Qualcomm Octa-core chipset, the Fairphone 5 comes with clean Android 13, zero bloatware and at least five major software updates. That’s future-proof!

🎯 5 Years Warranty

The Fairphone 5’s modular design makes it super easy to repair by yourself. Add to that a five year warranty that’s twice the industry standard. The Fairphone 5 is definitely built to last.

  ♻️ Made fairer than ever

The Fairphone 5 is made with 70% fair and recycled materials in fair factories under fair working conditions and is a 100% electronic waste neutral. That’s fair!

I totally agree that the dongle jungle is annoying. In my case I just put a Bluetooth receiver on a 3.5 jack on a PA system. Proprietary connectors have always been a pain. Remember when every year pcs would release with a other required swap of proprietary cables.

That's a really cool solution with the Bluetooth receiver! I fortunately don't have to play music from my own device too often


I was just shaking my fist at the clouds lol

Agreed about proprietary nonsense, for sure. I know I could have it much worse, since I've at least got a good ol', normal USB-C port, and, as you mentioned, we aren't living in the bad old days before at least some standardization came along.
