Fairphone 5 Dual-SIM 128 GB Green

Released in September 2023, the device offers a strong overall package for users looking for a robust, powerful Android smartphone. Equipped with a 6.46-inch OLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5, it impresses with sharp images (1224 × 2700 pixels) and solid brightness. The built-in Qualcomm QCM6490 chip (6 nm) with its octa-core architecture and Adreno 643 GPU delivers sufficient power for everyday applications and multimedia, supported by up to 8 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 storage with up to 256 GB, which can be expanded via microSDXC.

The camera setup is unusually strong for this price range: Two rear 50 MP cameras (wide-angle + ultra-wide-angle) with OIS and a TOF 3D sensor enable high-quality photo and video recordings in up to 4K at 30 fps. The 50 MP selfie camera also delivers amazingly detailed results. Stereo speakers, a variety of sensors, and modern communication standards such as Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and USB-C with DisplayPort round out the device. The side-mounted fingerprint recognition ensures quick access.

The smartphone's robustness is particularly noteworthy: It's IP55-certified and MIL-STD-810H compliant, making it dust, water, and shock-resistant—ideal for outdoor or industrial use. The removable 4200 mAh battery (a rarity these days) offers a solid 88 hours of battery life and charges up to half in just 20 minutes with 30W.

The device is also future-proof: It comes with Android 13 and, according to the manufacturer, will receive up to five major Android updates , which is particularly remarkable in this device class.
