Is the Fairphone 5 just a repeat of a proven formula or a real improvement compared to its predecessors?

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?

    I’m in Europe, so the problems with coverage shouldn’t be an issue here, as far as I’ve seen.

    As mentioned, I’m a bit miffed about the headphone jack, but I guess I can live with it if their Bluetooth chip is optimized for audio ( I found a post on Fairphone’s official forum from a guy who says he’s tested the Fairphone 5 several Bluetooth codecs, including aptX,and it works, so that’s enough for me.

    I also don’t use emulators, so yeah, I guess there’s very little reason for me to avoid Fairphone.
