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 - Matte Black

I like that the back comes off using just my thumb nails. The battery clips in and out with minimum fuss (no screws to undo, no sheild over the connectors, no dangly wire on the battery). I'm abivalent over the "dual SIM" milarky, downloading a soft-SIM for the "other" SIM "slot", but hey, I'm old-school. I'm also ambivalent over having to remove the battery before swapping/installing SIM card and Micro SD card - but I'm guessing thats to ensure the power is off-off before pulling them out or pushing them in... microSD cards with FAT don't tend to be hot-swap anyway. Overall I like that this phone has been designed so it can be mended by folk like me (my HTC Desire 530 had an escucheon top and bottom that has to be removed with a scalpel and four screws removed before the back/case could be removed, then a sheid had to be unscrewed before the battery could be disconnected/replace)

Superb phone, easy to change battery and fix most things readily and relatively cheaply yourself. 5 year warranty and at least eight years of updates and support.

Delivery driver failed with delivery whilst I was sitting in front street facing room of my house waiting for him. After getting his text, I caught up with him further up the street and got the phone. Fairphone 5 is a great concept. The ability to repair everything and long Android support mean the phone should be a faithful servant for years to come. Performance is commensurate with the price.

Incredible phone. Fairly sourced materials, good performance, good battery life, screen is pretty good (not the best, but for 99% of people it's fine), and the brightness of said screen is good. Arguably, it doesn't get as dim as I'd hope, but you can control this with an extra dim feature and night screen mode.

I bought this phone to replace an iPhone which despite being in good working order had become unsupported and was fast becoming unusable. I like the idea of being able to replace the battery and screen easily and it has a slot for a memory card. It uses a reasonably controllable version of android and their aren't any embedded apps needing the T&C accepting in the set up process. It connects to the car easily. It seems to do all my old iphone did and is easier to connect to a computer to copy photos and add music files. Only time will tell how well it remains usable as it ages.The issues I have are:To access to the SD and memory card the back has to be taken off and the battery removed.Their is a lot of parallax error on the camera lens.All in all I am very happy with the phone and considering the price difference between the Fairphone an what Apple are offering I would highly recommend it.Now, if Fairphone started producing a tablet....
