The Fairphone 5 maintains its modularity and easy access to components, making it a repairable smartphone. It now features a new and improved OLED screen and upgraded cameras. The back cover has a slightly improved IP55 rating, allowing the phone to survive water jets. The battery has a larger capacity of 4200 mAh. There are thoughtful improvements for fixers, such as a connector cover that is now connected to the module and individually replaceable cameras. The major internal change is the split between a motherboard and daughterboard, creating more space for a bigger battery but also introducing the risk of accidental disconnection. Fairphone’s commitment to durability is seen in the promise of 5 Android upgrades and at least 8 years of security updates. The phone uses the QCM6490 SoC chip, purpose-built for industrial and commercial IoT applications, with longer lifetime support. The Fairphone 5 maintains the aspects that were great about previous models and adds improvements like individually replaceable cameras, modular design, and easily accessible replacement parts. It excels in software longevity, offering security updates for up to 10 years.
