I've been using my Fairphone 4 for a couple of months now and I really like it. It wasn't easy to get it in Canada, but it works great with my carrier here. Getting my hands on some spare parts and a wallet case here wasn't easy either.
But now I have a repairable phone with an extra battery and an extra camera module. I should be able to run this hardware for years to come regardless of wear and tear or the longevity of the company. I'm hoping to get 6 years out of it. I ran my previous LG phone for 7 before switching; had to replace the battery twice, which was easy because that model had a removable battery.
