I’ll still hop to Fairphone after my current phone dies. I would miss a great camera the most but a decent camera is still a decent camera. At least I’m the boss over my own phone, I’m so fed up with not being able to swap out parts myself like with a normal desktop.

Meh, most phones (except iPhones) aren’t really that difficult to swap a battery out or something. The easy removable battery is nice, but you can change the battery on any Android phone with a bit of patience, time and heat.
Beyond the battery, the fairphone looks…pretty much the same inside from any other Android I’ve taken apart, the battery adhesive is the most difficult part once you’re inside the phone, everything else is easy. So it’s really not worth the performance compromises IMO
You aren’t paying extra solely for the modular design. I don’t know why tech enthusiasts always hand wave the social and environmental benefits of Fairphone away when they are the key focus of the company.
I agree with the review here, I’ve always found the mission of fairphone exciting and noble, but the specs…always left me with a meh feeling.
“It’s a fairphone, not a great phone”
“They overshot the mark and made too many compromises” - 100% agree with this line
