Received in very good visual condition, well packaged and as described. Unfortunately, I encountered 2 problems that prompted me to send it back: - on 2 occasions, the camera button wouldn't respond despite being pressed several times: even though the phone wasn't "loaded" into memory, I was just using the phone. - the GPS speed jumped regularly: tested with Waze, Google Maps and GPS Test. The phone had been updated (Android, Play store and FP - as well as all installed software) on receipt.

It crashes from time to time. It also reboots itself (this has happened a number of times recently).

It actually works well. Only now and then it no longer recognises the SIM card. I don't know whether this is a fundamental problem with these phones or just on my device.

The Fairphone 5 is a standout in the smartphone world for its modular design and durability, introduced in August 2023. Just a year old as of 2025, it’s built with repairability and longevity front and centre—perfect for those who want their tech to last longer than the latest trending meme. While it won’t break any speed records, the Fairphone 5 packs honest specs and thoughtful design choices for everyday use, all in a device that challenges the linear tech cycle.

Key features:

Release Date: August 2023
Display: 6.46-inch Full HD+ OLED, 90Hz refresh rate
Processor: Qualcomm QCM6490 (octa-core, up to 2.7GHz)
Camera: Dual 50MP rear (wide + ultra-wide), 50MP front camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 13 (upgradeable)
Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC
Build: Modular design for easy repairs; recycled and fair materials used throughout

Who is this for?

The Fairphone 5 specifications make it a solid pick for anyone who believes tech shouldn’t be throwaway. It’s ideal for eco-conscious users, tinkerers, and those who want to keep their device going for years with easy self-repairs. If raw performance for gaming tops your list, there are zippier options (like the Pixel 8 or Samsung Galaxy S23). But for a straightforward, modular phone with a sustainable twist, the Fairphone 5 hits the mark.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Repair-friendly modular build with spare parts available.	Not the fastest chip in its class—power users may crave more speed.
Sustainably sourced and fair materials throughout.	Modular design adds a bit of bulk compared to sleeker rivals.
Vivid 6.46-inch OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate.	No official IP rating for water or dust resistance.
5G and Wi-Fi 6E for fast connectivity.	Camera system is capable but lacks optical zoom.

Why refurbished?

Choosing a refurbished Fairphone 5 offers genuine eco-cred—helping you cut down on electronic waste while supporting circular tech. Every device is tested and restored to Back Market’s rigorous standards, so you get a planet-friendly phone without the worry. Learn more about our quality standards.
