There's nothing fair about this phone so we, the practical enthusiasts, are actually NOT the target of this phone. The target of this phones are snobs who are not much different than the ones buying Samsung or Apple flaghips. They are bragging with their shiny powerful toys and you are bragging with your "sustainable" toy. Both of you are deluded.

You have no idea that this phones doesn't compete with any other brand out there? It only competes with the fairphone 4, which itself compteted with fairphone 3 and 3+. The brand you mentioned is no way competition for fairphone because they have a different philosophy samsung and all other brand = low costs high profit fairphone = fair sustainable costs minimal profit, only the fact that you put that comment makes it clear you are not the fairphone target. Do you really think a person who is very much into organic food, environment, fair production of goods, repairable devices, long support, is genuinely even considering a phone from a brand that is all but that???? omg really omg

Samsung with their exirubishnox and adfullOS already lost when you start the device. After that, you drop it, well, have fan repairing it, battery goes by by (or kaboom as usual by sammy), have fun finding originals to replace it. USB C Port goes by by, have fun throwing it. And that come to device only, but let's talk fair paid workers, fair trade materials used, and active recycling and their investment in finding new solutions for a better enviroment and associations with companies that actually fight for a better consumer behaviour, that try to change the way garbage business is done this days. But ay, sammy is a bit faster...

Dion3285, 20 Sep 2023"Millions of environment damaging phones will be sold ... morefairphone is not price / performance / quality competitive product, how is going to displace the sales of phones that harm the environment? Never. Other manufacturers are under no pressure to change their products at all.
And fairphone knows it all well, all they want is to sell a few thousands of those phones at insane profit and keep the business running and getting themselves very rich.
For example Tesla cars can displace some of the sales of standard cars because you can save a lot on expensive gas that you dont need to buy and governments offer incentives to those sales so you can get the car for thousands less, and then most manufacturers are coming out with electric cars even if they don't want to. What a difference.

+1 for the easily replaceable battery
Wish they would have stuck with an LCD display though, to help avoid issues with PWM.

Chicken wing , 16 Sep 2023So you buy 2 phones for the price of one which means extra ... moreIt's a pity the price, or rather that there're no a low-cost version of it with lower specs, but useful for those who only want the phone for calls, messaging, and other basic features.
Still, worse is how major companies do not develop phones that follow Fairphone's model more or less even if the EU is supposedly attempting to get them into that direction.

I guess the alleged eco-friendliness is the only real selling point. Oversized, no headphone jack, expensive, uninspiring battery life. I guess the easy swappabilty of the battery and the 8-year-update schedule are pluses, but will you want to hold onto it for even a quarter of that time?

Dion3285, 20 Sep 2023"Millions of environment damaging phones will be sold ... moreSoftware support is overrated. I still have a spare phone running Android 8 and And all the apps work just fine.
Like I said, I appreciate the idea and non-removable batteries are one of the reasons I've never bought a flagship, but 3.5mm jack is another reason. They have also neglected non-expensive things like speakers, so they are not "fair" and there's no way I'm gonna pay them tons of money for a phone I will hate more than a $200 POS phone.

And that's exactly why people and the industry needs to stop buying and selling phones that are useless / without software support after 2/3/4 years.
If you won't do it, then someone else wont do it because you didn't do it, so it must be worthless. Someone has to start
I'm not saying buy this Fairphone 5 but you have to realize you can't wait for everyone to catch up, because they will do the same thing; wait.

This phone is mediocre at everything. I can buy a much better phone every 3 years and after ~10 years i would have spent the same amount of money without tormenting myself with a pathetic excuse of a phone.

Millions of environment damaging phones will be sold for a few thousand of these fairphones so what difference does it make? Absolutely nothing.
Just driving an internal combustion engine car everyday to work will damage the environment thousands of times more than all the phones you will ever own so plant some trees and drive an electric scooter to work and you will REALLY be giving you 2 cents.
Be smart and avoid getting yourself ripped off.

Fairphone 5 has the same features as other phones, but one advantage is that you can repair it yourself, but the price of this phone is much higher.

Anonymous, 16 Sep 2023Maybe a fair phone but the price is not fair at all. For 40... moreSo you buy 2 phones for the price of one which means extra e-waste and recourse winning, which are both made zero percent of recycled materials, worker get paid a dollar per hour, miners work in the worst conditions, some children assemble the phone but you ask yourself why the price is higher than same specced phones 🤡🤦♂️🤦♀️🤷
