Just to add to this, the price doesn't highlight the Total Cost of Ownership well...

My Fairphone 3+ has been getting updates for years and I also bought a replacement battery (at the same time I bought the phone) to ensure that it lasts for many more years to come.

And I'm SIM-Only, so not paying longterm to a phone company

Cost/Lifetime is probably lower than a mainstream phone (I'll actually do the calculation one day)
