Modular to replace parts

Another unique feautre of this Fairphone is that it is modular. This basically means that you can easily replace certain parts yourself. So when things break down, you don't have to buy a new phone right away. You buy a part and replace it yourself.

High-quality, 5.7-inch display

Improved cameras

On the back of the phone is a 48 megapixel camera with LED flash. This is a major upgrade if you look at the Fairphone 3's 12-megapixel camera. The front camera has also been upgraded from 8-megapixels to 16-megapixels. Both cameras are easy to replace as modules.

Quick fingerprint scanner

On the back of the Fairphone 3+ you can find a fingerprint scanner. This gives you quick access to your smartphone, because it works faster than filling in a code or pattern. It is also safer because your fingerprint is unique.

64GB internal storage with microSD slot

Fairphone has provided this 3+ with 64GB of storage capacity. The operating system takes up a small part of this. The rest you can use for storing apps, photos, and videos. There is a microSD slot so that you can insert a memory card when you need more storage space.

DualSIM: one phone, two SIM cards

The Fairphone 3+ is a dualSIM phone. This means that there is room for two SIM cards at the same time. This is useful for business use, for example, because it allows you to keep work and private life separate. It is possible to use two SIM cards and one memory card at the same time.
