Great phone that promises to last a long time

Easy to maintain
OLED 90Hz
Fairly heavy
Battery life is not long

After using this phone for two weeks, I can say that I am very satisfied. The phone fits comfortably in the hand and has quite a bit of weight. This may be a negative for some, but I like it. It took some getting used to having the fingerprint scanner on the side of my phone, after years of having one under the screen. The Fairphone's scanner works the best of all the phones I have used. The OLED screen is excellent and glides like butter on the 90 Hz setting.

After switching on battery safer (max 80% charging capacity) and switching on 90 Hz on the display, the battery life decreases quickly. For me it's enough, since I'm never away from a charger for long. But this can be bothersome for some. The photos I took are good enough. Understand that Fairphone has less money to put research into their camera app than Samsung or Apple.

The big question is: are you willing to do it? You can get a better phone that's faster, and better, for less money than the Fairphone 5. But this is a chance to speak out with your wallet. Just like Framework laptop, you choose a sustainable option that is made to last a long time.

Nice device that you can enjoy for years!

Easy to repair
Future-proof update policy
Nice screen
Battery life

Works great. Nice screen, especially if you enable 90Hz in the settings. Fast processor, never really have to wait for the device. Android 13 works well and has some nice new features. Unlocking with the fingerprint sensor on the side is very practical. Sustainable repair and update policy gives me confidence in the durability of this device. Hopefully I can use it for the next 8 years!
