[@Stratos666]

No it does not have to come with an USB cable because everyone has at least several at home. fairphone thinks differently and put a stop to the useless delivery of accessories (cables, charter, manuals, ..)

Where did you buy the phone from?

[@270eha19]

I bought it from Amazon, the link is in the description.

[@san3har]

Quick question, does the display out work?

[@270eha19]

What do you mean?

[@san3har]

@270eha19 sorry, what I meant was: if you connect it to hdmi/display port via a usbc hub, does it work?

[@270eha19]

@@san3har It's ok, according to your question, I don't know if it works because I don't have that adapter to connect to a monitor. Sorry.

[@Cesar-y4r1y]

Which processor it have?

[@270eha19]

This is the phone's processor: Chipset Qualcomm QCM6490 (6 nm) CPU Octa-core (1x2.7 GHz Cortex-A78 & 3x2.2 GHz Cortex-A78 & 4x1.9 GHz Cortex-A55)

[@lorenzococco926]

Should be mentioned in the video that the official price of the FP5 is 699 €, not 800.

[@270eha19]

The reason why I mentioned "over $800.00" here in the USA, the only source I found selling the Fairphone 5 is Amazon (link below) maybe I could have gotten it from Fairphone themselves, yet, I don't know how good they are in shipping phones here, that's why I replied on Amazon and the prices I mentioned is according to Amazon to help the viewers go to the link below and purchase the phone. I bought this phone with my own money and no sponsorship from Amazon or Fairphone. Thank You for your comment! 🌝🌝🌝🌝

Headphone jack?

[@270eha19]

Unfortunately there is no headphone jack on this phone.

[@adrianobecherucci35359]

there's no other phone on this price range with headphone jack

[@270eha19]

@@adrianobecherucci35359 You might want to take a look at the "Asus Zenfone 10" here on KZbin. It's a flagship phone that is small in size, came out this year yet a rare phone that still offers a headphone 🎧 jack. Beware of the camera department if you are in to photo shooting! Many KZbinrs consider it's camera as average. I wish you the best on your phone shopping and the final phone of your choice! 🌝🌝🌝🌝

Hey, you are replacing your Pixel 6 already? Did you have any issues with it? I have a Pixel 6 Pro which has pretty bad screen issues: it stays black if I have it in my pocket for a while and eventually recovers when I put pressure on it. So I guess it's a physical issue. Would love to open it up and just fix it by myself. Also, my USB connectors are usually the first thing to break on a phone. That's one of the reasons why I'm considering a Fairphone next. But the top one is sustainability - I try to use my devices as long as possible. Had a Pixel 2 before and had to replace it because of ended software support/security updates, unreliable USB connector and broken fingerprint reader. The phone itself still worked great and it was fast enough, so if I could have fixed it, I'd still use it now. I loved its size, the Pixel 6 Pro is actually too big for my taste. Now the Fairphone 5 is basically the same size, but you can't have it all. That's why I'm still considering a refurbished S23. I'm really looking forward for your review, just subscribed so I don't miss it!

[@270eha19]

Thank You for your Subscription and your comment! The Pixel 6, I am replacing it with the Pixel 8 as soon as it comes out next month. My Pixel 6 will be having a 2nd live as a "KZbin Music Audio Player" I have a subscription with KZbin Music and this phone will be perfect for that. The reason for replacing the Pixel 6 with the Pixel 8 is because it has no Face Unlock and the modem is faulty at times contingent on software updates. The battery on it is amazing as I'm still able to get 2 1/2 days out of it using it for regular activities as a daily driver phone, as soon as I use it for KZbin Music, I'm sure I will be getting more life out of the battery using it mostly as an audio player. The Fairphone 5 is going to be a phone I mostly want to keep at home and use it as a Wi-Fi device, for general tasks and Google Voice.

[@VeitLehmann]

@@270eha19 Thanks for your answer! Lots of devices, but makes sense. Also a great way to support Fairphone with less risk. The Pixel 8 is also a device I'm looking forward to see. I always liked the Pixel software experience and their cameras, and I'm sure the Pixel 8 range won't be nearly as flawed as the Pixel 6/Pro.

[@270eha19]

@@VeitLehmann I'm hoping for the best for Google to make an Awesome Phone, I'm pumped to see what they have to offer this year! I agree with you about the Pixel Experience, I started with the Pixel 4 and from then on was fantastic!

[@Stevemind88]

Cant imagine carrying that brick around for 10yrs? That phone wont last the software updates, it'll be laggy as hell (Same with pixels 7yr of updates)

me encanta que sea un celualr reparable me gustaria que tenga mas bateria ya que trabajo bastante con el celular y tanbien juego miro pelicula hago muchas cosa como pagos bancario casi todo el dia estoy con el celular en la mano haber , cuando haces un texs de calentamiento o cuantas horas agauanta la bateria del celular . por sierto buen video amigo me encanto , felicidades

[@270eha19]

¡Muchas Gracias! El celular tiene una buena reputación de reparabilidad, en cuanto a la beteria, en mi experiencia recargandolo a 100%, si lo uso por una hora, la bateria me baja a 87%, espero que esto pueda ayudarte, ahora si deseas un celular con buena bateria te recomiendo que cheques a Amazon (enlace abajo), ellos tienen un telefono que es el "Unihertz Tank", que lo tienen a $400.00. La bateria de ese telefono anque es mas grueso y pesado te da mas horas de bateria que este Fairphone 5, pero no es reparable. Pero si deseas un celular reparable y no necesitas muchas horas usandolo, el Fairphone 5 es suficiente. Ahora, como se puede remover la bateria, se puede comprar otra bateria en el citio de web de Fairphone, pero yo compre mi Fairphone 5 en Amazon. Espero que esto te ayude en tus decisiones. ¡Gracias! 1) Unihertz Tank www.amazon.com/Unihertz-Tank-Smartphone-Fingerprint-Charging/dp/B0BNBCJ88N/ref=asc_df_B0BNBCJ88N/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647103112008&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6473421222614741591&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001894&hvtargid=pla-1949828126139&psc=1&mcid=9670825c190033c184c93d0ed6d8cf65

It depends how long snapdragon is gonna support it. 8 years minimum.

[@270eha19]

We shall wait and see. Interesting point there. 💡💡💡💡💡🌝🌝🌝🌝🌝

[@Benjimica]

@@270eha19 That's why they choose the Qualcomm QCM6490 instead of the usual Snapdragon. This CPU is mostly used in industrial IOT-devices and therefore has a longer support guarantee.

[@MrBassman5000]

I've been using the fp4 for the last 18 months.. I can't tell you now! There are thousands of us who can't even have 5g switched on the phone and it's been going on for about 2 years and theu have relased a new phone since then.. and fairphones response is to everyone is to pretend it's a singular user issue not a massive model issue.. from a long term user.. don't bother I've seen so many fp5 issues on the community forums which would make you cringe.. I was sold by tue fairphone ethos but eqqially annoyed by the rubbish aftercare..
