Editorial report
Fairphone 5 8 GB / 256 GB Global technical sheet
The Fairphone 5 suits people looking for a detailed display, a large main camera sensor, and capable connectivity; its main trade-off is a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. The 6.46″ OLED display has a pixel density of 459 ppi, among the highest of its time. Its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than on most phones launched around the same time, so the display combines high pixel density with a less elevated refresh rate.
The rear main camera uses a 1/1.49″ sensor, larger than those in most phones of its time, and includes optical image stabilization. Overall, the camera is better than on most phones launched around then. A 50 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Connectivity is better than on most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and Nano-SIM + eSIM. The phone has 256 GB of expandable storage, 8 GB of RAM, and Android 13.
Its removable 4,200 mAh battery has a capacity among the weakest of its time, while wired fast charging is rated at 30 W. At 212 g, the phone is heavier than most phones of its time. Overall, the Fairphone 5 is typical among phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore is 6.0, making it a fit for people who prioritize the display, camera, and connectivity over battery capacity.
