Die Kamera vom #Fairphone 4 ist echt bescheiden... Und ich glaube zum Teil liegt das ab der App, denn vor dem auslösen auf dem Bildschirm sieht es viel besser aus. Leider kann man in der Kameraapp keine Screenshots machen.
Akkulaufzeit #Fairphone 4 - â4/10
Wahrscheinlich muss man bei einem Fairphone einfach immer eine Akkupack mitnehmen wenn man mehr als 6h unterwegs ist, weil lÀnger als 8h hÀlt der Akku bei mir wohl kaum.
Und die Apps mit dem höchsten Bedarf habe ich schon angepasst.
Das #Fairphone 4, mit deren #Android erlaubt es nur, #Fingerabdruck fĂŒr alles, inkl. entsperren des GerĂ€tes, zu aktivieren, oder?
Bei anderen Android Handys konnte ich das entsperren immer ausschalten und Fingerabdruck nur fĂŒr Entsperrung von Apps benutzen. Damit wĂ€re Fingerabdruck aus meiner Sicht doch ein sehr hohes Sicherheitsrisiko.
Deaktivierung von Fingerabdruck geht auch nur indem ich die FingerabdrĂŒcke alle rauslösche, richtig?
Mein #Fairphone 4 friert immer wieder ein und startet neu, wenn ich 5G bei meiner (Telekom) Simakarte akriviere.
Ich bin nicht sicher ob es nur bei der Simkarte so ist, aber bei der physischen Sinkarte der Telekom ist es so.
Wenn ich einstelle, das nur 2G, 3G und 4G benutzt werden soll, dann passiert es nicht.
So mal eine kurze Erfahrung zum Fairphone 4, was ich jetzt seit 2 Monaten neben meinem iPhone 14 nutze
Am Anfang habe ich mich schwergetan, den die Benutzung ist, doch mit einem iPhone nicht zu vergleichen, aber ich nutze mittlerweile mehrheitlich das Fairphone mit e/OS und je hÀufiger ich es nutze, desto weniger vermisse ich das iPhone.
Was mich am Anfang sehr gestört hat, waren die Bilder, die ich mit dem Fairphone aufgenommen habe, sie konnten am Anfang nicht mit denen des iPhone mithalten. Es lag aber nicht wirklich am Fairphone, sondern eher an mir und an ein paar Einstellungen.
Ich nutze mittlerweile auch die Murena Cloud, die im gesamten ein Super zusammen Spiel zwischen Linux und Fairphone bietet, was eine gute Alternative zum Apple Universum darstellt. Und es laufen fĂŒr mich alle wichtigen Apps auf dem Fairphone.

Fairphone 5 Camera test: Benchmarks and Comparisons with Pixel 7a and Xiaomi 12T Pro
Fairphoneâs devices are designed with longevity, reduction of e-waste, fairer sourcing of materials and the welfare of workers in mind. The latest model Fairphone 5 5G comes with only slightly improved camera specifications but major improvements in the software department when compared to its predecessor Fairphone 4. As a result, the Fairphone 5 5G outperformed the 4 by almost 40 points in the DXOMARK Camera tests.
The improvements were most noticeable in photo and video, where the new device performed better across most test categories, including exposure, color, texture, noise, artifacts, and video stabilization. Thanks to good detail and well-controlled image noise, the camera did well in bright light conditions, making it a good option for landscape photography and similar photographic genres. In addition, photos and videos were generally exposed nicely. Colors could be slightly desaturated, however, and the video stabilization will struggle to satisfy more demanding videographers. In their tests, stabilization was often inaccurate, with residual motion and sharpness differences between frames visible in the recorded footage. Their testers also found dynamic range to be limited in some high-contrast video scenes.
The Fairphone is not a high-end phone, so no-one is expecting it to compete with other high-end phones, but for many, the camera is a very important phone component. Although the Fairphone 5 has bumped up the camera specs considerably from the v4, it is just good to know what to actually expect before buying this phone. This is why I find the DXOMARK camera tests especially interesting.
The linked article not only gives the benchmark figures, but also shows some still images and video, that can be easily compared with flagship phones.
I would really be interested to know if the Fairphone 5 would be able to accept future camera module upgrades eg. to a 100MP camera for example. That would be a real first for any smartphone!

Fairphone 5 sets a new standard with 8-10 years of Android support and a 5-year warranty
Fairphone is not trying to compete on bleeding edge specifications. It can be more likened to a mid-range phone, with long support, ethically sourced components, and easily repairable (screwed not glued) modules. For example, you could swap out the main 50MP camera for $75.50 (if that can be upgraded say after a few years, that would be really great!).
It has all the essentials though like Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, sub-6 GHz 5G support, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, dual 50-megapixel cameras, a 90Hz OLED display, a side fingerprint reader, and a normal-sounding modem, DSP, ISP, and AI engine.
The IP55 rating for dust and water resistance does not worry me too much, as Iâve never had need of more than this in over two decades of carrying mobile phones. I have, though, had major pains trying to replace the glued in battery of my Nexus 6P phone. I do anyway fully insure my phone against all-risks.
What is really interesting though, and weâve heard this before from Fairphone, is that modern consumer phone OS support is often limited by Qualcomm (or other SoC vendor), as Qualcomm must continually adapt Android updates to work with their chips. Fairphone has got partly around this limitation by employing an industrial grade Qualcomm chip instead of the usual consumer version, which has shorter support by Qualcomm.
Although the camera is not going to be as good as my Galaxy S23 Ultra, Iâd be quite interested to see if my banking apps would work with this phone. The reason is my banking apps (well one of them at least) has very stringent security requirements which I remember excluded the use of my rooted Pixel 2 XL phone (even the Magisk cloaking could not hide the root status from the banking app). I think the bank also mandates the use of its official app from the Google Play Store too (and this is used for photo verification as well as website 2FA logins for me). The Fairphone does come with its own Fairphone OS, but it does seem you can get that with, or without, the Google Apps. If you can get by without the Google Apps, then this wonât be any problem, but if you have to have the official app from the app store then you may want to be sure this will all work fine.

Mal so ins Blaue gefragt:
Gibt es einen vertrauensvollen #Fairphoneï»ż-Gebrauchthandel?
Ich muss nicht unbedingt ein cutting-edge Handy haben und evtl. möchte ein zufriedener Fairphoner ja updaten?
An wen wende ich mich da?

Fairphone 3 gets seven years of updates, besting every other Android OEM: Proving the usual excuses for ending Android support arenât valid
No one in the Android ecosystem can hold a candle to Appleâs software support timeline for the iPhone, but there is one company that comes the closest: Fairphone. Following in the footsteps of the Fairphone 2, the Fairphone 3 is also getting an Android-industry-best seven years of OS support. Fairphone continues to run circles around giant tech companies that have a lot more resources than it does, and itâs doing this even in the face of component vendors like Qualcomm dropping support for the phoneâs core components.
Youâd hope that others follow suit, but donât hold your breath. Samsung is probably closest, but not for their whole range I think. That said, Fairphone is not very quick with their updates. Still 7 years is nearly double the time that most Android OEMs give so you can certainly get your moneyâs worth out of these devices.

I have this #Fairphone4 laying around and wonder if I should install #UbuntuTouch on it.
Is there any other #Linux that works well on a #Fairphone 4?
Have you got #Ubuntu running on a #FP4, please share some insights with me, pros and cons would be great.
This would be my second phone, so no need to be 100% reliable, but I really would love to try it in real live every day use.
The Fairphone Impact Report
https://www.fairphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Fairphone-Impact-Report-2022.pdf
I am citing just some topics:
This report is our transparent account of our performance against our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). But unlike most businesses, our KPIs are not limited to the things that determine our financial health. Theyâre indicators of the impact weâre having on the health of our planet, and well-being of the people who make our phones. Fairphone has never been just about selling electronics: weâre out to change an industry which has made consumersâ lives better while making the world worse â with mountains of e-waste, unsafe mines, corruption, violence, child labor, and harrowing factory conditions. We simply donât accept that these are the necessary or acceptable costs of doing business.
Fairphone alone will never change the world, and the change we hope to catalyze wonât happen overnight. But every year since our founding in 2013, we have made progress worth celebrating. Step by step, every advance brings us closer to our vision of a fairer world.
someone who goes through two phones in five years will cause close to twice the impact on global warming compared to someone who uses only one. With the current average lifespan of a smartphone being only 2.7 years, keeping a phone for at least five years â our goal for the Fairphone 4âs life span â reduces that yearly impact by around 30%.
In 2022, the Fairphone 2 received an update to Android 10 which will lead Fairphone 2 toward a total of 7.3 years of software support â another exciting industry first!
