There are some dutch websites that still sell the 5, but they are more expensive then the 6.

It’s hard to justify to myself to spend so much money on a last gen phone that would also take alot of time to get running.
@TheMightyCat @Vicinus thank you for the work on the FP6, looking forward to test.
Thanks for the links. It’s interesting to me that they still have some, when Fairphone doesn’t sell them anymore.
More expensive and older. Yeah, that’s a tough justification.
Found this one too: https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/telecommunicatie/mobiele-telefoons-overige-merken/m2393016558-fairphone-5-accesories-very-good-state
Not overly surprised that the FP5 is more expensive, given that in many aspects the FP6 was a downgrade.
I’m not familiar with the changes made. Why was it a downgrade?
The cpu, ram, screen, camera etc is pretty much the same specs, but the SoC went from an industrial grade one to a consumer grade one. Furthermore the FP6 only has USB2 and no display out. And last but not least, while the battery in the FP6 is a bit bigger, it is now a strange custom shape that you will never be able to find a new 3rd party replacement for in a few years, meaning all you will be able to buy is old stock from Fairphone itself that has already degraded to a certain extend.
