FAIRPHONE 5 256GB 5G Unlocked & SIM Free Smartphone - 6.4 Inch Android Mobile - Octa Core - 4200mAh Battery - OLED screen - 50MP Dual Lenses - Sustainable & Easily Repairable - Sky Blue

I'm very happy with my new Fairphone 5. It feels incredibly well-made and the build quality is excellent. I appreciate the focus and effort on sustainability in such a challenging space crowded out with cheap materials and planned obsolescence in other brands. This includes repairability and long term software support. The phone is fast and the Android software runs smoothly. A great smartphone for everyday modern needs.

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).

I really, really wanted this to be good. I want an ethical phone.It was fine, not as quick, not as intuitive, not as good a sound & camera less good than you know who. Still very good though.So, perfectly ok, ethical, decent picture, the camera is still very good (who really uses all the iPhone features ?) and it’s repairable.But sometimes it kept closing web pages, brightness auto-adjusted and flashed a bit, then it stopped charging.Amazon does excellent customer service and took it back but disappointing.

shame about google features, if i knew i would not have bought it, i was tempted to return it... disappointing certain features cannot be blocked.... real shame, i would not recommend it for this reason
