Fairphone 5 Reviews
So far so good
I am owner od my second FP and I am really a fan of the Fairphone products and philosophy. However, I have to charge battery of my totally new cell phone every day in spite of following the correct use of cell phone. I do not use internet all the time, I do not watch videos, I do not use applications that need more "fuel". I am a little disappointed from the battery.
I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY FIND A PRODUCT THAT IS SUSTAINABLE AND FAIR. BYE BYE XIAOMI!!
Internet Data is not working and I have no answer from the Fairphone support
Hello Roser, thanks very much for sharing these suggestions and bringing this to our attention. We’re so sorry to hear about your experience. We can see you were assisted by our support team via e-mail. Best, Lore
so far soo happy! nice and powerful, glad to have a phone build to last.
Well built phone, I thought I wouldn't like it but I'm impressed with it. It us very sturdy. It is very expensive though
Battery lasts much less than my previous phone (redmi 10) but that's ok for me. I don't use the phone very intensively ( I am now charging almost daily, before 2/week). I am super happy with the rest :)
Satified by working and charging
It's wonderful contributing with the things I care about as the ecology and fair trade! This phone is so beautiful too!
So Good!!!
My first fairphone. Loving it so far and looking forward to using it for many years to come :)
Fairphone proves that you an make a great, long lasting product without exploiting kids and the environment.
- i like the transparent edition looks, its sturdy and comfortable to hold in hand - android feels snappy as it should - heavier than I expected overall im very satisified
Works as promised, seems sturdy.
Great phone that stands for its sustainable and ethical values. Great overall quality, but disappointed by the battery life (sometime less than a day) and the screen colors that cannot get correct even when being tweaked.
Very nice, longlasting Phone.
Great phone, especially for people who want to live a more sustainable lifestyle and value stuff like right to repair. It doesn't contain the most recent hardware, but it's decent and the phone still runs smoothly and all.
Only negative was when there was a security update and it remained at a black screen for a very long time during the reboot. Otherwise i am all satisfied with this product
Just takes a little getting accustomed to after my 7 year old Samsung. I will probably have a better idea in 6 months time.
I haven't yet managed to get any use out of it! The transfer of files has left me unable to see any apps, make any calls or receive any texts! So far not a good buy 🤦🏼♀️
I think it's a great product, my rating of the battery might be misleading, because at the moment I'm using a quick charger.
Great phone for everyday use, quite powerful, high-quality screen, decent battery life. Bulkier and heavier than most - but that's the price of full repair-ability. My only concern is a bug with inability to register phone in IMS for Voice over WiFi, so that callers cannot be identified. Operator says it's a bug with the phone, Fairphone says it's with the operator.. I think it's both. Operator is P4 Poland.
Great phone, very happy with my purchase
The battery could last longer, and it is quite expensive compared to other smartphones with similar performance. However, these points are more than compensated by the expected longevity. Updates are released regularly, both feature and security updates. It gets a wholehearted recommendation.
Too much google apps (most of them innecesaries) and you cannot uninstall. Also when you insert your sim, the phone sends an sms to a Google phone number (without ask permission) and you have to pay for it. I don't have a Google account and I don't know why the phone do that (no good intentions, I think). The phone looks well constructed and for me is powerful enough. But I have to recharge the battery every day, maybe is fault of all Google shit installed, in my previous phone (xiaomi redmi note4) the battery used to work for 3 days (with no google apps) so probably I'll install lineage os with microg into Fairphone to bring it a longer live and more privacy...
Good phone at a good price, guaranteed updates for five years.
Exactly as good as a non sustainable phone😀
Very good smartphone!
Great design. Clean software.
I’m very happy with my new Fairphone😍! Its modular design makes repairs easy, and it’s great to support a brand committed to sustainability and fair labor. A perfect choice for anyone who values ethical tech without compromising performance! Really love it!!!!!!
Well made, functions well + feel good factor.
the best phone I've ever had, not the most powerful, but certainly the most ethical, the setup was very simple and customizable. Exactly as shown in the videos the phone is easily disassembled and repairable! As for the software it is graphically pleasant and simple, and at the same time very customizable
Easy to set up and transfer apps and data from my old Samsung phone.
Good Start!
The phone works really well. Maybe not the thinnest or the lightest, but for a fair reason. Totally recommended
I would say that I could buy phone that has better specifications than Fairphone 5, but there is no chance that any brand ensures that much ethical, ecological and fair work which is far more important than phone specifications. There are some small bugs on phone so that is why my review is 4/5, for battery I have option for 80% charging so mabye that is reason why I have 4/5 for battery and as I said, I could buy phone with better specs for this price, but any other phone can't stand stpry behind Fairphone.
Fairphone is as simple as that: the future of sustainable devices.
Very solid phone with a reasonable chance for longevity. I appreciate the sustainability choices. Only thing missing is the availability of a fliptop cover to protect the screen.
Upgraded from the Fairphone 4, what a delight!
It's a very nice phone. Biggest plus for me is replaceable battery and a slot for micro SD card. My only dislike is the stock Fairphone launcher. Limited to 3*3 4*4 and 5*5 grids and I always use 5*6 also I don't see why there has to be a forced Google search on the home screen that can not be removed. Thankfully this is Android so that I can use ADW Launcher instead.
Super in Bedienung und Handling Display top Kamera geniap
i'm very satisfied with my fairphone that I bought last year; that's why I bought another one for my husband
Nice phone, works well so far
I couldn’t make the fingerprint work
I love how it looks and how it works, but most important, it is sustainable and its componentes are replaceable. It is expensive, but I think it worth it.
It's a great and basic smartphone. Pros: Fixability, 5 years product guarantee, eSim, simple transfer from old phone to new, montly OS updates Cons: Camera compared to newest phones from other companies not as good, no earphone jack Pros heavily outweigh the cons for me though + I support their effort for a transparent supply chain.
A great fairtrade product
First FP without any defects at all
Super happy with my new Fairphone 5. I have been using it for the one week and I am really satisfied. I hope it will last for many years.
Very happy with my new Fairphone!
it is a good product thanks
Fxxxxing awesome
Great quality for the price. I am very satisfied and I would recommend it to anyone to try.
Great product, works perfectly! Can't wait to change some part myself.. :)
Still have my fairphone 4 and the cover the fairphone 5 ist Brand New and a Gift dir my wife
Battery doesn't last long. But the phone does! So I dont mind.Everything can be swapped out easily. Updates till 2031,so this one is a keeper.
Very happy so far. Easy to set up and is working great.
Conforme à la description produit :).
The smartphone is a little slow to open Apps, but once opened works perfectly. That is my only negative point. The rest is very good.
Great phone so far after two weeks of use. No problem!
This is my first Fairphone and I love it. It's a pleasure to use it, the ability to repair in the future with just a few screws is fantastic. I'm looking forward to keeping this phone as my only device for many years.
Good construction, nice screen. A bit heavy and laggy. 4/5. Satisfied
Good phone. A bit pricey but understandable.
Camera already failed once after two days of usage. Software seemed stuck. Could still record video and use panoramic and pro option but portret and normal camera stayed blurry. Had to reboot. Not sure if it's me and my finger coordination but clicking links often fails or misselects the wrong text in apps like Reddit. Did not have this issue with FP 3.
Fast, easy and nice to use
Solid phone. Feels like a nice update compared to the Fairphone 3 I've used for 4 years. Let's hope this one will stay with me even longer!
Good phone, but +++ for the ethics :)
Great product from a great company. I understand it will feel more expensive for the specs they boast but that is expected due the fact that most products are cheap thanks to exploitation
Works fine, it's just a bit thick and it pricey.
My first impression was that I was really glad to have a phone with a fingerprint sensor that works properly! My previous phone was a Fairphone 3, which I had for nearly 5 years and only changed because I allowed it to get water-damaged. The step up in internal memory is going to be very helpful, as we seem to have to add more and more apps to do things.
It fulfills all my expectations!
It fulfills all my expectations!
It is a good phone, and you get what was promised. Mostly. The phone offers many years of security updates. But these seem to come months after release and are just the bare minimum. This is unfortunately not uncommon in this industry. Other security features are also missing. This is for example the reason why GraphaneOS is not available on any Fairphone, which I would really like to install on my Fairphone 5 :(.
I'm impressed. The hardware is solid and well-made. Love the modular, repairable design. The UI is clean and responsive. I use it just like my previous device and it works perfectly. This phone is prove that sustainable technology can exist. I just wish the protective case was a bit less expensive.
It's my third or fourth Fairphone so you can tell I am happy with the ethos and the quality.
It works well.
reliable and convenient
Fast, fair, and looks and feels great. 100% satisfied, not much more to say.
Top product.
Exactly the kind of phone I need, for not being a mobile gamer, nor a social media user, so not much use for a jaw dropping camera. Still a pretty good camera for me, except in low light. Great screen, resolution, contrast, depth of color. Sound is okay too. The fact that I'll get to repair it and rely on it for years makes me happy.
Bigger and heavier then my previous phone. It's easy to notice because I hold the phone in my hand all the time. Spent some time getting to know the latest android version but it's fine. All functions that I need work. I did overlook the absence of the headphone jack and a second physical sim slot. That's why I converted one of my sims to an E-sim. The cover on the back is difficult to remove when it's stuck on one of the pegs holding it in place.
The phone is cool, the percieved quality of the product is really high, the concept is AWESOME and GREAT (genius), I agree with the idea behind the product. Because of all these aspects, I will surely 100% purchase again the product in the future... BUT...there are "some comprimises" that I didn't like so much on: camera, spare parts, size, prices. I hope that they will improve the situation on FP6
I have no Dutch.Sorry.
I like very much the cellphone built by Fairphone due to the circular economy it has behind it. The quality is very good, but especially is the thing that you can repair it yourself if needed and has the possibility to change the battery and other parts. I like also that they give you support for at least 5 years, included in the warranty and also for the software. I hope it will last at least the 5 years my last Fairphone lasted.
All good, a pleasure to use.
A nice piece of kit and kind to the environment hopefully.
Its just perfect. Great specs, good looks and it reminds me all the time about responsible consumer choices, I can't count the times I have blown people's heads off when showing how a fairphone works. I Love it.
The phone works smoothly, not a top tier but that was expected. The highest value is the social and environmental value behind It!
The touchscreen is not very good, but everything else is fine
It's not worth it's money if you are looking for a gaming or performance based phone. It does however make up for it with the 5 year guarantee! You can take out most of the simpler components like the camera and speaker, whereas you can't even take out the battery out of most modern phones. I did wish you could take out the ram or even the processor in order to upgrade it like a pc, so you would only ever replace the parts you have issues with and keep the phone for even longer. That would be an absolute dream. As of now it could handle all of my applications and is perfect for a day to day phone. Wifi and data roaming seems to drain the battery rather quickly and the screen brightness jumps around very weirdly if it is set to auto adjust (which is barely worthy of a mention, though it did really bug me at the start). Other than that, I haven't had any issues so far! Hope it'll actually last for as long as promised! Edit: So it turns out AR mode isn't supported, which is useful for measuring tools or interactive games- For me this is a very important feature which is commonplace amongst any android or IOS. Additionally it's supported by phones which similar hardware. I am beyond confused why this isn't available. Personally, this is a very important feature. Though I value fairness, it doesn't feel fair towards the consumer to disregard such a feature at this cost. It's not a hardware issue, it's a fairphone one. Fix it.
I was surprised to see that there is no audio plug for a headset. More importantly, the phone does not have any way to communicate that there is a pending notification without turning the display on: no notification LED, no Always-On Display. The feature exists in Android 14 but was removed by FairPhone because of a battery issue earlier this year and there's no information about it ever returning. It's not even possible to reenable it and endure the battery issue as they have fully removed it from the system. This is a dealbreaker for me. I've contacted their support to try to either find a solution, know if there would be a fix coming or discuss a refund and they've been extremely slow and unhelpful, sending me canned responses and even mistakenly including internal instructions I shouldn't be seeing like this one: "### DO NOT SEND This delay apology has already been used. Try not to apologize again, but if you feel it necessary please reword as appropriate." I've owned a FP3 for years and was excited about getting an upgrade while continuing to support FairPhone and making the phone market slightly more sustainable and ethical, but this level of customer support makes it impossible to fix even the easiest issues. I've lost all trust in them.
Hello Gabriel, thanks very much for bringing this to our attention. We’re so sorry to hear about your experience & the wait you're having with our response - we're currently experiencing busier times on our end. We can see you already created 2 different support requests, and we asked our Support team to get back to you as soon as possible. Best, Lore
Is a very sturdy phone. Everything well so far
It does everything a normal person needs from their phone with sufficient speed, memory & battery life. The slightly high price is offset by the knowledge that the phone's footprint over other people's lives and futures is as small as it reasonably can be within our current toxic production/consumption system.
Excellent phone, fast, easy to use, battery life about 48 h in average usage
Some menu options are not translated into Polish. The LED flashlight is less bright than in Samsung. Camera under the screen is not something I like. Overall, great repairable long-lasting phone. I am delighted.
Great phone
Really nice camera. Android and UI is sometimes a bit laggy/buggy but not annoyingly much.
Very nice progress from FP4
After the first days, using the phone more than usual, battery life has improved. The automatic screen brightness setting doesn't work. Or better : it works too much, changing the brightness of the screen the whole time, which is very annoying, so I am now changing the brightness manually the whole time. The phone is sturdy. Fortunately, as the aluminium casing is a bit slippery (already dropped it twince within the first 24 hours). It's quite heavy and thick, which I knew beforehand. Opening the phone is easy. Haven't done too much with that feature yet, but it will surely come in handy once I break the screen.
Value for the money is great: saved lives, preserved planet; I wouldn’t choose anything else, even if it meant sacrificing features, and I don’t even have to! Regarding the phone, well, it’s Android, and it’s good; “LineageOS for microG” in my case. Many thanks for officially allowing this Google-free configuration. That’s almost unique. The only thing I really miss from my FP2 is the multi-color LED. You _do_ use a LED, as a battery indicator; it’s so sad that you dropped its multi-purpose ability. With the FP2, I didn’t need to be next to my phone to know something had happened. I just loved being able to know at a glance that I had received an email (ping blinking), or an SMS/MMS (green blinking), or a calendar alert (blue blinking)… but after almost 9 years of use, it was begging for retirement… Please bring that color LED back in the future! If that could happen on the FP3 with a simple module replacement, that would be awesome ♥

Including fair minerals in our electronics is an iterative process. We focus on 14 materials that give us the most potential to make a positive impact on people and planet. Here’s a brief behind-the-scenes walkthrough of both our fair and recycled materials.
Inside the battery
Fairphone 5 comes with our fairest battery yet: it has fair lithium and fairtrade gold integrated in the supply chain and impact cobalt credits, a living wage bonus and a commitment to the highest standards on CO2 reduction and social auditing by our battery supplier.
Our battery (supply chain) now includes
- 75% post-consumer recycled plastics in battery frame
- 100% recycled tin solder paste
- 80% recycled steel and nickel alloy
- In addition, we account for 100% of the cobalt used in the battery by buying cobalt credits, which support the improvement of working conditions for artisanal cobalt miners in the DRC.
- We also account for 100% of the silver contained in the battery through buying Fairmined silver credits, which support Fairmined certified artisanal miners.
We’re the first and only smartphone company to integrate Fairtrade gold into our supply chain.
Read our blog postThe back cover
- 100% post-consumer recycled plastics for all the different Fairphone 5 back covers and colors.
The OLED display
- The display contains 100% pre-consumer recycled indium and 90% post-consumer recycled magnesium in the display frame, as well as 41% bio-circular recycled plastics.
- Fairtrade Gold integrated in the supply chain.
Inside the speaker
- The speaker itself contains 100% pre-consumer recycled rare earth elements and 100% recycled plastics for the speaker cover. And Fairtrade gold in the supply chain
Inside the BTB connectors
- The board-to-board connectors contain Fairtrade Gold integrated in the supply chain, and 100% post-consumer recycled plastics in the connector cover.
Meet the makers
We put people first
All the parts in your device come together to work for you because people made it that way. Thousands of them. And they deserve a better quality of life for them and their families. Including sufficient income, a safe workplace, and the opportunity to be heard. Without them, there would be no smartphone.
The main supplier of the Fairphone 5 meets the strictest standards for safe and decent working conditions (SA8000& ISO45001). To make a lasting impact, our approach puts workers and their needs first. Focusing on paying living wages to increase income, and on strengthening worker voice and representation, as well as health & safety.
We’ve expanded our living wage program to also increase the wages of the people who make the components that go into your phone, like the battery or the vibration motor. Supporting our suppliers and their component suppliers to understand the needs of workers. Ultimately, cherishing the many hands that made your phone.
“We believe a fairer electronics industry is possible. By making change from the inside, we’re giving a voice to people who cares.”

Climate conscious
Climate conscious and the Fairphone 5
Climate conscious is an approach to avoiding and reducing carbon emissions by designing products that last, working with our suppliers to reduce our products’ footprint and reinvesting in the planet and projects that put people first. How do we do this?
By working with our suppliers
We’ve partnered with our final assembly and battery manufacturers to implement renewable energy for the production of Fairphone 5. But this is not where we stop. By working with our suppliers to set climate targets we stimulate carbon reduction in our supply chain - beyond Fairphone products. We also stepped up our materials sourcing with your Fairphone 5. Inside your phone is recycled aluminum, magnesium, rare earth elements, tin, nickel, zinc, copper, plastics, and for the first time, indium.
By investing in the planet
Through investing in Gold Standard certified projects in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we’re helping to reduce CO2 emissions while contributing to community-based activities. Our contribution matches the remaining emissions of Fairphone 5’s lifecycle.
