Fairphone 5 gets the thumbs up from iFixit, to the surprise of no one.

I’m sure making a phone this repairable is still enormously challenging. But at this point it’s hard to expect anything less than a perfect 10/10 for the Fairphone 5 given its predecessors the Fairphone 2, Fairphone 3, and Fairphone 4 are the only smartphones to have received similarly perfect scores from iFixit. Check out our full review.
