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?

Do not buy preloaded LineageOS or /e/ OS phones or any Android phones without proper Verified Boot support and firmware updates. These devices also have no way for you to check whether they've been tampered with.> from privacyguides.org

The price, no headphones plug...

Doesn't seem fair to me to be honest.

Nope, can't find one here, first of all. And even if it were available here, I can just degoogle other model for much better price anyways.
