Hi! I have a Fairphone 2 and would like to know if I can buy the Fairphone 3 Camera spare part to add it to my FP2? Is it working?

No it doesn’t work. The modules have different shapes and sizes.

There’s a shop at https://shop.fairphone.com , and it has pictures :wink: … https://shop.fairphone.com/en/spare-parts/fairphone-3-camera [image] https://shop.fairphone.com/en/spare-parts/fairphone-2-camera-module [image] https://shop.fairphone.com/en/spare-parts/fairphone-3-top-module [image…

Hi, I have two fairphone2s and want to equip one with usb-c. Can I use the module from the fairphone3 store? How are the casings in comparison? (need a new back cover as well)

not at all, is very disapointing. so I can not grow my phone with time, only by old replacement tech. Is there any future vision as to fairphone 3 to 4 migration paths? Or migration of older versions? Say I would not need more capacity but do want a more modern camera. Any resolutions on these kind…

For now (and probably for a long time) a new core module will always mean a whole new phone. Most components have certain other components they are compatible with and changing the main components will mean that the externals won’t be compatible even if you design the modules to have the same shape. …

Generally spoken Fairphone already had and again now have a lot more room to maneuver considering the camera specs. But they again, for whatever reason, hold on to 12 MP. SoC 801 could go up to 21MP and now the 632 can go up to 40MP. But lets see if there are any upgrades waiting for us some day……

Please remember, it’s not the MP that count. It is the quality of the optics and the picture-engine. The same goes for DSL(R ) as well. Those MP monsters (like e.g. the Nikon D850, the Canon EOS 5DS or the Sony alpha 7R), having sensors of 40 to 50 MP need really expensive lenses that are able to d…

Yes, true. I agree. Afaik Panasonic did/does so for e.g. my Lumix TZ-10 . The censor is bigger but the lens only captures a smaller fraction resulting in 12 MP to reach an entirely even image quality. My girlfriends LG G4 has a 12MP main camera and a quite extended software with full auto-mode, se…
