## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Great - I was really worried about buying this phone because of all the negative reviews, but I figured that I could always just return it. After a few initial hiccups because I was moving from iPhone and not used to Android generally, I have found that I love this phone and that it does all that I need with a large beautiful screen and great battery life for my purposes. I thought the fingerprint sensor was slow initially, but I now realise that the trick is to see it as a sensor and not a button that you need to press down at the same time. if you just touch it, it should unlock the phone or the app you are using. The camera is good enough for holiday pics, family pics, selfies, etc. If you zoom in, the pics can be grainy, but that is because you are zooming in - for all normal purposes like showing the pics to other people or on a bigger screen, the quality is good enough! I also think the transparent cover is cool and I find the fact that the battery is replaceable to be reassuring. If your company has a Bring Your Own Device policy, one thing to check is whether your company supports Fairphone as sometimes they just support the major players.
Review: Favourite Phone Ever - Incredible phone. Fairly sourced materials, good performance, good battery life, screen is pretty good (not the best, but for 99% of people it's fine), and the brightness of said screen is good. Arguably, it doesn't get as dim as I'd hope, but you can control this with an extra dim feature and night screen mode.

## Features

- Great image quality - Selfie camera and premium dual camera are equipped with 50 megapixels. With ultra wide angle, Super Night mode and portrait mode. Film breathtaking videos in 4k quality with Action Mode
- Sustainability comes first - The Fairphone 5 contains more than 70% fair and recycled focus materials. In addition, the supply chain is completely transparent and responsibility is taken for the footprint of the materials.
- Repairs made child's play - The Fairphone 5 is not glued, just screwed. If the screen needs to be replaced, all you need is a screwdriver. 10 modules are available as spare parts.
- Built to last - Made for any lifestyle. Durable and sleek. Crafted to last and it’s easy to repair with modular parts, so you can take pride in what you own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by A***E on 24 October 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favourite Phone Ever
*by J***N on 15 March 2025*

Incredible phone. Fairly sourced materials, good performance, good battery life, screen is pretty good (not the best, but for 99% of people it's fine), and the brightness of said screen is good. Arguably, it doesn't get as dim as I'd hope, but you can control this with an extra dim feature and night screen mode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long useful life
*by A***W on 1 September 2024*

I purchased the phone because it is easy to fix, has a long guarantee and has software updates until at least 2031. I also like the ability to be able to change the operating system to be able to avoid being tracked by Google, all the security agencies and anybody else who wants to know and record exactly what I think and do - or at least make their lives more difficult. The only downside factor is the battery life hence the 4 stars. i.e. 36 hours or less. Effectively, charging most days. Battery life is a known downside. I assume a longer life battery and software management will be a priority. The modular construction of the phone allows the battery replacement without tools in 30 seconds. (The Tudia cover is a must have).
