The Fairphone 5 has earned a perfect score on iFixit, the renowned platform that evaluates the repairability of electronic devices. According to iFixit, the modular smartphone, proudly made in the Netherlands, boasts several enhancements that simplify the process of repairing the device. One notable improvement is the ability to replace the cameras individually on the Fairphone 5. In previous models, if one of the camera lenses experienced a malfunction, the entire camera module had to be replaced. However, with the Fairphone 5, users now have the convenience of swapping out just the affected camera, rather than the entire module. It is important to note that the time of flight sensor cannot be exchanged separately.
Another noteworthy feature of the Fairphone 5 is the presence of clearly separated mother and daughter boards. iFixit reports that the Dutch company behind the Fairphone opted for this design choice in order to accommodate a larger battery within the device. The Fairphone 5 is equipped with a 4200mAh battery, providing users with ample power to last throughout the day. Despite the inclusion of separate logic boards, iFixit assures that the repair process for the Fairphone 5 remains just as straightforward.
On September 14, the innovative Dutch smartphone maker, Fairphone, unveiled the highly anticipated Fairphone 5 to the market. Priced at 699 euros, this modular phone comes with a promise of five OS upgrades and eight years of updates, ensuring that users can enjoy the latest features and security patches for an extended period.
The Fairphone 5 boasts a 6.46" OLED screen with a resolution of 2700x1224 pixels and a fast 90Hz refresh rate, delivering a visually stunning and smooth viewing experience. Powering the Fairphone 5 is the Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC, a 6nm chipset that falls outside of the regular Snapdragon range. With 8GB of LPDDR4x memory and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, users can enjoy seamless multitasking and ample storage space. Additionally, the device offers expandable memory through a microSDXC slot, allowing users to easily store more photos, videos, and apps.
