FAIRPHONE 5 256GB 5G Unlocked & SIM Free Smartphone - 6.4 Inch Android Mobile - Octa Core - 4200mAh Battery - OLED screen - 50MP Dual Lenses - Sustainable & Easily Repairable - Transparent

I was really worried about buying this phone because of all the negative reviews, but I figured that I could always just return it. After a few initial hiccups because I was moving from iPhone and not used to Android generally, I have found that I love this phone and that it does all that I need with a large beautiful screen and great battery life for my purposes. I thought the fingerprint sensor was slow initially, but I now realise that the trick is to see it as a sensor and not a button that you need to press down at the same time. if you just touch it, it should unlock the phone or the app you are using. The camera is good enough for holiday pics, family pics, selfies, etc. If you zoom in, the pics can be grainy, but that is because you are zooming in - for all normal purposes like showing the pics to other people or on a bigger screen, the quality is good enough! I also think the transparent cover is cool and I find the fact that the battery is replaceable to be reassuring. If your company has a Bring Your Own Device policy, one thing to check is whether your company supports Fairphone as sometimes they just support the major players.

At some point I may need a battery whatever ? - This Fairphone 5 is waste of money $1600 Canadian - these companies like " Ifixit " and actually Fairphone themselves to buy parts have online only the Countries in Europe to check the box off in only Europe "0" International Shipping either one !! - they sell the crap ( ease of repairing and of replacing items ) as necessary but you can not buy parts to be shipped !! -- the phone is a joke and I was forced to stop using of it - return is a joke after using it for 6 months -- I bought a Sonim XP10 5G to have something worthy and functional and at least change the battery !! - thought I'd have reliability for at least 5 years with the Fairphone - just a screw job - a joke the Fairphone is along with SORTEL who sold it to me !!!!!

This is a great phone from an environmental perspective. Repairability and replacement of parts is amazing.But as a phone it is very frustrating. Incoming calls don't always show up, so sometimes it's impossible to answer even while it is ringing. It can switch itself on and do things even when in pocket mode.So buy it if you want to do well by the climate, but not if you want a functionally good phone.

Purchased phone expecting high quality and unfortunately the phone stopped working and bugs
