Totally agree on this. Beside missing the headphone jack, the FP5 was just very mediocre in my experience. Haptics and battery life/thermal performance were terrible, software had some serious flaws (bugs like randoms reboots, framerate issues, portions of the UI didn't normally fit the screen using certain settings). I got rid of it pretty soon after i got it.
Not to mention they decided to skip Android 14 for the FP4 and just go straight ahead with Android 15… i mean, it was a good choice, but they should've had their shit together in the first place.
I really hope they will do better with the 6, although i have serious doubts about that. I would like to support Fairphone, but won't buy another Fairphone if they are as unpolished as the FP5.
