From their newsletter:

📸 Premium 50MP Triple Camera System

The Fairphone 5 comes with a 50MP selfie camera, a 50MP main camera with a finely tuned Sony lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera for that perfect, cinematic shot.

⚙️ 8 Years of Software Updates

Packing a unique, long-life Qualcomm Octa-core chipset, the Fairphone 5 comes with clean Android 13, zero bloatware and at least five major software updates. That’s future-proof!

🎯 5 Years Warranty

The Fairphone 5’s modular design makes it super easy to repair by yourself. Add to that a five year warranty that’s twice the industry standard. The Fairphone 5 is definitely built to last.

  ♻️ Made fairer than ever

The Fairphone 5 is made with 70% fair and recycled materials in fair factories under fair working conditions and is a 100% electronic waste neutral. That’s fair!

6.46 inch display is too big for me. I'm desperate to find something with a 6" screen but it seems 6.1" appears to be the size most manufacturers are going for.

This phone looks like something I could dig though.

I have the Z fold. I love the big screens!

I don't mind big screens but they are hard to use with one hand and in the pocket they are too big.

I didn't realise it until later on in its life, but the Pixel 5 was the perfect phone size for me. I hear the Pixel 8 is going to be smaller but the rumor is it has a 6.1" display.

I just found my old Moto G1 phone (4.5 " screen) yesterday in a box - charged it and used it for a while for some utility apps and for listening to music and some old favorited podcast episodes that were still on its harddrive - and my god was it NICE to handle it and use. It is so light and thin... just wow.

Then I saw it had the last security update available from march 2016 and did not even dare to turn on the WiFi.... But I might go back to use it for the utility apps, OTP, music, and maybe just as a phone (for days when I want to be offline but reachable).
