Review: Love the modularity. Performance is good, but not flagship fast. Being able to remove the battery is amazing. Microsd card slot is super useful! Being able to remove any or all of the 3 cameras is kind of cool for privacy. I dont use a case, only a screen protector and its held up to many drops with some slight dings in the frame. The phone is rather heavy and thick as a result of its build design, but I dont mind. I would buy it again.
Review: I was really worried about buying this phone because of all the negative reviews, but I figured that I could always just return it. After a few initial hiccups because I was moving from iPhone and not used to Android generally, I have found that I love this phone and that it does all that I need with a large beautiful screen and great battery life for my purposes. I thought the fingerprint sensor was slow initially, but I now realise that the trick is to see it as a sensor and not a button that you need to press down at the same time. if you just touch it, it should unlock the phone or the app you are using. The camera is good enough for holiday pics, family pics, selfies, etc. If you zoom in, the pics can be grainy, but that is because you are zooming in - for all normal purposes like showing the pics to other people or on a bigger screen, the quality is good enough! I also think the transparent cover is cool and I find the fact that the battery is replaceable to be reassuring. If your company has a Bring Your Own Device policy, one thing to check is whether your company supports Fairphone as sometimes they just support the major players.
