The Fairphone 5 comes with a 50MP selfie camera, a 50MP main camera with a finely tuned Sony lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera for that perfect, cinematic shot.
⚙️ 8 Years of Software Updates
Packing a unique, long-life Qualcomm Octa-core chipset, the Fairphone 5 comes with clean Android 13, zero bloatware and at least five major software updates. That’s future-proof!
🎯 5 Years Warranty
The Fairphone 5’s modular design makes it super easy to repair by yourself. Add to that a five year warranty that’s twice the industry standard. The Fairphone 5 is definitely built to last.
♻️ Made fairer than ever
The Fairphone 5 is made with 70% fair and recycled materials in fair factories under fair working conditions and is a 100% electronic waste neutral. That’s fair!
I find the “gotta have the jack” camp quite amusing. As wireless protocols become better and better, I don’t miss having a jack on my devices. In fact I prefer not tearing the cable when moving from my pc to do something. The lack of a plug is not a net loss but also focuses the hardware to do something else. Personally I really like usb C being truly universal. One good cable can connect different devices ranging from monitors, headphones, microcontrollers, HIDs and so on. Input interfaces come and go 🤷
I’m a live sound engineer, and whenever I need to play music from my phone over the PA, I now have to dig out yet another goddamn adapter to do so. A tour manager or road engineer with an apple device wants to play tunes over the house PA? Hope they have their own adapter, because my “universal” USB-C adapter won’t cut it.
I totally agree that the dongle jungle is annoying. In my case I just put a Bluetooth receiver on a 3.5 jack on a PA system. Proprietary connectors have always been a pain. Remember when every year pcs would release with a other required swap of proprietary cables.
That’s a really cool solution with the Bluetooth receiver! I fortunately don’t have to play music from my own device too often — I was just shaking my fist at the clouds lol
Agreed about proprietary nonsense, for sure. I know I could have it much worse, since I’ve at least got a good ol’, normal USB-C port, and, as you mentioned, we aren’t living in the bad old days before at least some standardization came along.

For me I really only miss the days of not having to charge my headphones. Its hard to remember that’s something I need to do
