The apparent lack of a headphone jack is a crime
Totally agree, but already got used to it on FP4.
Apart from that I look forward to it. I got a the FP4 for work and will need a new phone when I leave.
Nice I want to move to Fairphone, but the Fairphone 4 is not a upgrade. So I’m wanting on the Fairphone 5.
I get tired of phone’s that are basically death after 3 years and are basically not user repairable.
Looks really good. I don’t like that it doesn’t have a headphone jack but maybe using an adapter isn’t as bad as I imagine it to be.

It’s probably a bit more than that because it isn’t just the jack, but yeah.
I like it. Still wish they would remove the camera bump.
Well it have decent bands for Canada? That’s what’s always kept me from then in the past. That and they really pissed me off by dropping the headphone jack.
Yeah dropping the headphone jack is the single reason I didn’t buy this phone. If they didn’t it would’ve been a no-brainer since this literally doesn’t have any competition.
Went with the Samsung XCover 6Pro instead
A few years ago I was on team keep the jack but at this point it’s not as necessary. USB C headphones exist, wireless headphones have gotten quite good, and if you use one pair of 3.5mm headphones if you keep a dongle on it it’s really not that inconvenient.
It’s very off-brand for Fairphone to start selling non-repairable earbuds and then release a phone without a headphone jack. Fairphone bills itself as being fairer for its workers, its customers, and the planet. How is Fairphone being fair to either the customer or the planet if they’re making wireless headphones the most convenient option? Wouldn’t it be fairer to customers and the planet if customers could use the wired headphones that they already own? Plus, wireless headphones have an artificially short lifespan due to the batteries.
