While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

If only they sold their phones to the 99% of us who live outside of Europe. ๐Ÿ™

Edit: Guys, not literally 99% of the human population... It was a joke playing with the idea of "the 1%" having privilege over "the 99%"... You guys who can buy this phone "are in the 1%". No need to be a number Nazi ๐Ÿ˜‚

The EU alone is about 450 million people. There's more countries in Europe than in the EU. I think you got something wrong.

It's 741 million right now, and to be fair about 91.8% of the population lives outside Europe.

Then again how many of those people would be in the market for a fairphone anyways? Can we include China and India? Not sure if the Chinese government would see kindly to the fairphone (maybe I don't know) and Indians would probably be outside the target since the fairphone is rather expensive (or maybe not I'm not sure)
