For Canadians: It took less than 1 week to receive my phone from Clove, but you will probably have to submit some ID as part of their anti-fraud policy.
Warning: I had requested DHL drop my phone off at one of their pickup points but they delivered it to my door when i was not home regardless. Everything was fine, but just a reminder DHL is not the most competent courier and you should not expect them to do basic things like... read or cooperate. I would not recommend approving their signatureless drop off.
For reception, its better than my last phone (motorola power g-7) and I have had zero issues with my Carrier (freedom mobile). Just swap the sim and you're set.
As for the phone itself, I like it. All of the obvious pros like you can take out the battery, SIM, expansion card, its repairable etc is all fantastic. The only missing feature is there is no headphone jack.... bluetooth all the way, just be aware. My only mild complaint is the battery life is not stunning but it will be ok for the vast majority of people. Also if the battery life starts to diminish too much in a few years I can always replace it with anything that fits this form factor, which is how phones should be so I am unconcerned. Most people will not have an issue unless you use your phone intensely all day and object to plugging it in ever.
The camera is good and takes nice photos, both front and rear. The internet is quite fast on it compared to my last phone, and overall I am happy with the performance.
OS. I disabled most of the google stuff and installed FDroid and its working well with lots of FOSS apps with no problems. It appears to be fairly straightforward if you want to install /e/OS or another OS like lineageOS or even Ubuntu Touch. For now I will leave the stock OS as it is working well and FP offers years of security updates in this state.
It was expensive, yes, but thats what you get when workers get paid better, environmental damage is considered, and the phone outright rejects planned obsolescence. This is how phones should be and its nice knowing that I have minimized unethical behaviour with a device that I am likely to keep using for close to a decade. It is a sad sate of affairs that even fairphone cannot eliminate the atrocities of critical minerals and unethical labour practices, but its a great direction to be going in.
I did buy a Tudia phone cover from Amazon because the fairphone version does not appear to do a good enough job protecting the phone, however I did not actually have one for a direct comparison. The tudia cover is quite good, which is nice considering there are so many less options for the FP5.
Amazing delivery was 2 days early the day before a national holiday
Brilliant phone, great to have an SD card slot again and the hardware and software warranties/updates are amazing.
Well built throughout, little heavier than I expected but has a larger battery.Screen is sharp and clear, Overall much better than my Sony Experia 5 and cheaper.
Does my jobs very well
I love the Fairphone mission, and they managed to put it in a great looking, sleek, functional phone. It works amazingly well. Thank you Fairphone. And thank you Clove for getting this to me in the USA.
