I purchased the Fairphone 4 a couple of months ago to use in Canada. It works great with my carrier here.
The phone I purchased runs stock Android, not the /e/ OS. And yeah, it's super easy to open up and repair. I purchased an extra battery and an extra camera module. I have no idea what stock will be like 5, 6, or 7 years from now, but that's how long I typically run each of my phones before switching to something new and I wanted to make sure I could keep the thing running regardless of how the company performs.
