Specifications

Fairphone 5 is a modular smartphone, making it easily repairable and customisable by the user. It supports 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and has a 4,200 mAh user replaceable battery.[3] The phone has 256 GB of storage, 8 GB RAM, three 50 MP cameras with optical image stabilization, an IP55 rating, and a 90 Hz refresh rate.[4]

The phone ships with Android 13. It is reported that it will receive five major Android updates and eight years of security patches.[5] This is possible because the system-on-chip it uses is intended for industrial internet of things applications and will have a longer support life than a SoC intended for consumer devices.[6]

Reception

Android Police praised the phone for finally having a "modern design" but expressed concerns about how the processor will perform after years of use.[7] The Verge called the phone a "lesson in delayed gratification", referring to the higher upfront cost for a longer lasting phone.[8] Wired described it as "mediocre" but "all about the mission."[9] DXOMark gave the phone a score of 108 for the camera, ranking it at 103rd among all phones, and 25th among phones within the similar price range. It mentions that the Fairphone 5 is a: "Significant improvement in camera performance, both in photo and video, over its predecessor"[10]
