The Fairphone 5 is not for sale in the US. Europeans, though, can get the device for 699 euros (~$753), with preorders starting today and a ship date of September 14. For the basic specs, we have a mid-range loadout, starting with a 6.46-inch, 90 Hz, 2770×1224 OLED display. There’s 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a side fingerprint reader, and a microSD slot. For rear cameras, it offers a 50 MP Sony IMX800, an anonymous 50 MP wide-angle sensor, and a time-of-flight sensor. The front cam is a 50 MP Samsung JN1.
this is a huge deal
It is probably going to need 2-3 battery replacements to be useable for that long.
Which is fine, since they’re cheap and you can replace them yourself in a few minutes.
Sad that the US can’t get this yet, but in the meantime, Nokia’s partnered up with Ifixit to make stuff like the G310 available. There’s also the G22 and G42 in Europe. Apparently the G310 and the G42 have the same battery, according to iFixit’s website. I’ll probably get the G310 myself, if the reviews aren’t terrible.
