Hello all I don't understand why the FP3 runs Android 10 and promises updates for (only) 5 years. After all, if the point is to be able to fix the phone over and over again, an Android One would make much more sense. Or am I misunderstanding this? Is there a Fairphone with Android One? Thank you and greetings

The 5 years are usually a period that suppliers and software developers (e.g. camera software) can contractually support and subsequently deliver. This is standard industry practice. But that doesn't mean that your phone will suddenly stop working after 5 years. Think of it as a "spare parts guarantee".

Why is this device so huge? btw: Why are many smartphones so huge? i find it extremely impractical. it almost reminds me a little of the beginnings of the first mobile phones, which were also huge blocks.

Huge is relative. I had a Nokia 8.1 before (on which I destroyed the display) and it had pretty similar dimensions. And I manage quite well with it
Especially with the Fairphone, part of the size is of course due to the repairability. Since that's why I chose it, I'm happy to accept a slightly chunkier phone. And after a short period of getting used to it, it feels quite normal.

You are currently offering the Fairphone 3+ with free accessories: Ordered until 15.4., with IMEI registered until 17.4. Well, I ordered yesterday, get delivery tomorrow. I'm just on the way. However, on Fairphone's website (your link) I read that registration is required until the end of April. What is the truth now?

I think it is as it says here (promotions.fairphone.com/de/longevity-pack):
Eligible with purchase date (at Digitec, other providers have different promotion periods) up to and including 15.04. and registration with Fairphone up to and including 31.04.
So if you register in time, i.e. by the end of the month, it should still work out (whereby: delivery period 6 weeks; presumably you want

Good day. My old Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) has one micro SIM card slot. The new Fairphone 3+ is equipped with two Nano SIM slots. I have seen instructions on the internet on how to cut a Micro SIM into a Nano SIM. As far as I know, contacts are stored on this card. Has anyone already done this for the Fairphone 3+, or is it better to keep your hands off it? The alternative would be to order a new nano SIM card for the same phone number. But what happens to the contacts?

Hi VauWee

I have already punched about 20 SIM cards - and it worked well every time :)
I didn't dare to cut them myself, so I bought a SIM punch at that time - the ~16 CHF were well invested (instead of 40 CHF for a new SIM with my provider at that time).

You can order a SIM punch here, for example: XCell punch for SIM cards to Micro-SIM, Nano-SIM incl. adapter

I have just bought an FP3+ and as it comes without a charger, I subsequently used my old Huawei SuperCharger charger. Unfortunately, this charger is not compatible with the FP3+, neither the plug nor the cable work. So my tip for you is, buy the original plug from FP and use a cable that is not designed for SuperCharge. With this experience, I was able to charge the device without any problems. I hope my tips help you and wish you a lot of fun with the FP3+!
