If you want a phone with a 10/10 repairability score, here it is،
If you can't stand the idea of another person touching, taking apart, and playing with the inside of your phone, then you probably have DIY instead of DNA.
That's why it's almost impossible that you have never heard of the Fairphone 5 whose creators ensure that you can easily swap its parts including screen, battery, camera modules, speakers and the USB-C port, without being rocket science. kind.
Now the renowned iFixit (the world's largest online repair community) gave the Fairphone 5 a solid 10/10 repairability score (via Android titles).
Overall, the Fairphone 5 retains the aspects that were great over previous models and adds thoughtful improvements to the repair experience, like individually replaceable cameras. It features a modular design with easy access to critical parts and easily accessible and reasonably priced spare parts. Additionally, Fairphone provides necessary repair information.
The plastic back still comes off quite easily because the Fairphone doesn't stick it: just unclip it and that's it. Compared to the Fairphone 4, the new Fairphone 5 has a redesigned cover with increased thickness of nano coating for an IP55 rating of dust and water resistance. Inside, we find a larger battery (4,200 mAh instead of 3,905 mAh) which takes up more space than before but which remains easily removable.
In terms of specifications, the Fairphone 5 contains a Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC based on the Snapdragon 782G. This means you get mid-range performance, but it's a marked improvement over the Fairphone 4's Snapdragon 750G SoC. The chip is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and you can even insert a microSD card to add up to 2TB of additional storage.
The phone starts with Android 13, and the best part is that Fairphone is going big by committing to five major OS updates and eight years of security patches. The objective is even to extend this deadline to a decade. It’s entirely fair to call it the “Decadephone”!
