MODERATORS
In my book the only comparable device is the Pixel. It's got a 7-year support life, it's got parts via iFixit for the same period, it can be used with alternative OSes and the software support lifespan transfers to those too since they use the same AOSP base and hardware binary blobs. It's harder and more expensive to repair than the Fairphone so from repairability it's definitely behind it. For example a screen replacement for a Pixel 8 seems to be in the $300 territory.
