I recently got a FairPhone 5 and it is working pretty well, especially for the price.

UbuntuTouch as an OS is quite refreshing as it's not just a copy of Google/Samsung/Apple UIs. I like how they use the sidebars.

Definitely it still needs more work on getting more devices fully supported but that's an ever going effort, since OEM do not provide any help here (for now).

Did you try using waydroid with it? I assume banking apps are still a problem, but can I just take the apk of a map app like OSMand and it will give me offline maps, including my GPS position and compass heading? Because I think openstreetmaps is still lacking a native Linux app, but the Android apks are decent.
