I personaly prefer the jack plug on a phone for the simplicity of it, but there is another solution than the usb-c adaptor. Nowaday, I plug any wired headphone I have to a tiny light battery powered bluetooth module (15-25$). The best with this solution is that it can connect wireless to "any" phone, computer or technology with bluetooth capability. Basicaly, the module can convert analog sound signal to bluetooth. Imagine, going to the beach with any WIRED headphone without the need of TOUCHING the phone in the backpack (ideal for sand and water protection). For me it has been the best of two world. Imagine, the liberty of wireless plus the quality of the "loved "old" "non-breakable" "comfy" headphone. Yes you still have the cable management, and the need to charge the module... But hey, no pain no gain. And yes, battery life of the module will be super short, like few years or so. Then you plug it on a powered pack and your ok forever. I"ll finish here. Good luck.

I don't really care too much about specs as long as it works, it's speedy, has good battery life and is up to date. However, I still need to see some reviews about it. And while I do live in Australia, Amazon seems to be able to ship the phone from the UK and I think that it is compatible with our network frequencies. I'm not so sure that the seller is trustworthy, and it only appears to have 2 reviews, and the phone has none. Amazon says it costs $1,201 AUD (a little more than an iPhone 13 mini) but sadly it would arrive after Christmas.

I hope Fairphone executives see this comment. I would DEFINITELY buy one as my next phone if it were available here (Canada) even without availability through service carriers. I’d be willing to pay the cost upfront since I know a Fairphone would last for a long time. I really don’t understand what’s so difficult about adapting network receiver and emitter to have Can / USA frequencies. It should be something really minor since they’re in the same frequency range as EU frequencies. This would open a great market to Fairphone. Right to repair is making big progress in North America right now, so people would probably buy it more than we can imagine. I just don’t get it.

A couple of comments: The Fairphone is not water resistent - a result of the modular design and decision for easy repairability. I remember well these times when you had to have spare batteries with you to make it through the day. And part of their issues was corroded pins - yes, exactly those pins you where so happy to see again. I had several phones, from Blackberry (the best to write on), over different Samsung phones as well as others with failing parts from battery over charging ports and front glasses as well as backside covers.All without them falling or been treaded badly. And all where broken and replaced within 3 years - also because of software update issues. My iPhone 6 I have now for more than 6 years. After 4,5 years I changed the battery. Nothing else broke. I will get a new one next spring and it will be an iPhone again. The only reason is that even though I get constantly safety updates some apps are not running on the OS anymore. The one thing I am much on your side is that exchangeable batteries and memory extensions are the most needed things to be added. But only if it does not jeopardize the safety of the OS (infection by memory card) or less water proof resistance because of making these changes happen. I agree that Apple could and should be improving on repairability. If they would the iPhone would be even better with it total ecosystem and easy to use approach. Apple will have to change for certain as sustainability is important. But honestly I feel better having used my iPhone for such a long time than I had when I had to get new phones every 2-3 years. But that is only my thoughts 😌

As much as I like companies like this and Framework, the reality is that most people don't care about repairability, and products like this will always be extremely niche, never making a dent in the immense e-waste we produce. Because of that fact alone, the only solution is regulatory changes to force the major players into making repairable products, have parts available, service manuals, etc. Until that happens, the few of us buying and repairing Fairphones and older devices aren't statistically significant to the overall problem. I wouldn't go so far as calling it greenwashing, but these companies are not the solution.

All these time everyone was crazy n complaining to improve the design n modern'ish look and what now? "are we going back" to the old design?

I don’t need phones to get easier to repair. They are already easy if you’re good with small parts and tools. The major thing us repair techs need is OEM parts easily accessible.

All phone should be easy to repair like this one! Other manufacturers should copy their design so consumers can repair thei own phones

I disagree with the camera point. I think that ifixit is just overly happy and ignored this fact.

Hello Good day. I am running an LCA on the fairphone 5 for my Beng Project. For my analysis, I would be needing, the weight of all hardware components. However, the fairphone 5 isn't available in my region. Please can I would like to know if I can get the weights of the dismantled component from you.

One question. Is it better as in faster than the Samsung s8? If so I'll get this to replace my S8 that now has the known screenburn issue

It has a Snapdragon 750G with 5G capability. Compared to S8's Exynos 8895 (European version), Fairphone's chip has a roughly 20% increase in performance. If you have the Snapdragon version of S8 (USA and China) which has Snapdragon 835, the Fairphone is more powerful by 15%. You can find comparisons online, but it seems like the performance is not an issue.

Overall, it is very similar, as the chips are optimized differently.

I wanted the Fairphone 4 really bad...before I found out it didn't have a headphone jack :/ Such a bummer tbh, I even had to buy a new phone in the same week the Fairphone 4 came out.

Is there really such a huge problem with using a dongle? You can keep it attached to your headphones and just plug it into the USB-C port when you need it.

@@razemix Yes, it's always a huge problem to use an dongle insteal of an internal jack. Also dongles broke up fast, you need to take it with you, you lose them, and finally, you must decide to hear music or get power for the phone

Great device, But WITHOUT jack plug? No, sorry, a USB-C to jack plug is NOT a replacement for a jack plug that has been rationalized away. I was actually going to buy the phone UNTIL I saw this. Now it's not going to be a Fairphone after all. Too bad. I would be very happy if the Fairphone 6 had a jack again and two real SIM card slots. Preferably in the size of a Samsung S10e (5.8 inch display) Then there would be a thumbs up from me and Fairphones for the whole family.

If these were available in the USA It would be my only phone. What is going to take to get in the USA?? Right now I buy NOS LG V20's just for the replaceable battery. Only thing really missing from the Fairphone (besides US Support) is LIDAR that would be awesome with with my 3D work. I would also love to see a larger battery pack. I would be very happy to hold a brick. I use 10,500amh battery on my LG, and it never runs out, even if I forget to recharge it. "GET YOUR ASS TO MHAAS!" ... I meas the USA!

As long as the camera is decent (usually weak in mid range phones) this may well be my next one.

I have a dying lightning port on my iPhone SE (2020). The phone is barely 18 months old, but Apple will charge me £200+ to fix the issue (which they say will involve replacing the whole handset). I’m tempted to respond by buying a Fairphone. It’s more money than the repair, but I don’t want to give my money to Apple for this.

Amazing! Companies like Fairphone and Framework are showing that the "sealed aluminum box" model is avoidable. I'm starting to think we should just straight-up ban any products that don't meet certain standards for consumer repairability.
