What the reviewers said

The Verge US

7/10Aug 23, 2025

The most repairable Fairphone yet is easy to recommend in Europe, where its midrange pricing makes sense, but much harder to justify in the US.

  • Exceptionally user-repairable with a single Torx T5 screwdriver
  • Ethically produced with recycled materials and fair labour claims
  • Long software support: eight years of updates, seven Android versions
  • Smooth 120Hz 6.31-inch display
  • Decent everyday performance for most users
  • Cameras lag well behind competitors, struggle in low light
  • Only IP55 rating for dust and water
  • Expensive in the US at $899 with /e/OS only
  • 30W wired charging with no wireless option
  • Murena offers only five years of software support

4/5Jul 29, 2025

A sustainable, repairable phone with a faster screen and modular accessories, held back by slow performance and inconsistent cameras. Its repairability justifies the compromises.

  • Repairable design with user-removable battery and easy part swaps
  • 120Hz display with strong outdoor brightness
  • Modular accessories are fun to swap
  • Eight years of updates and five-year warranty
  • Fairphone Moments software helps limit doomscrolling
  • Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 feels slow in menus
  • Main camera photos can look washed out
  • Auto-brightness often drops to near-minimum
  • Ultrawide sensor drops to 13MP
  • Defaults to 4G+ instead of 5G often

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
