Uncompromising? There is no such thing as uncompromising.
Its most defining feature, for me, is its removable battery. It that, I would compare it to the Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro.
Over the Fairphone 5, the Samsung Xcover has a headphone jack, dual sim and a IP68 rating, it is a rugged phone. Both can use a microSD card. The Fairphone has a better camera, better specs in general (but not best in class), and is more expensive. The Fairphone is generally more repairable, but because it is not rugged, probably more likely to break. The rest is about build quality, which is not easy to judge by the specs. The form factor is similar.
Software-wise, the Fairphone is, I think, much better. Longer support, and a more active and better supported community. The XCover 6 Pro doesn't even have a subforum on xda-developers.com. It has an unlockable bootloader, so in theory, one could run anything, but if no one cares...
All in all, I think both are worthwhile options, they just made different... compromises.
