The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high..

If it's a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

From a privacy perspective: no

From a fairness and repairability perspective: yes

It's not bad, it's just that it's an Android phone like any other. It doesn't claim to be more "private". It would be approximately the same amount of work to degoogle as any other Android phone.

They literally launched a /e/OS version the same day...
