Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Can I apply to be a beta tester if I’m using a custom ROM like /e/OS or others?
-
Answer
No, this beta testing program is exclusively for users running the official Fairphone OS. We require participants to be using the stock operating system to ensure consistent testing conditions and accurate feedback. Custom ROMs like /e/OS, LineageOS, and others have their own dedicated issue tracking and beta testing processes. This beta program is specifically designed to focus on Fairphone’s stock operating system.

- Do you need my address?
-
Answer
We used to ask for your address, only if you don’t currently own a Fairphone, so we can ship it to you. We now removed this requirement, your address will only be needed if you’re accepted into the program. If you already have a Fairphone, we only need your country of residence. This helps us ensure geographical diversity in our program.

- Can I participate in beta testing for the Fairphone 3?
-
Answer
Currently, our beta testing program focuses exclusively on the Fairphone 4 and Fairphone 5. The Fairphone 3 beta program operates separately, and we’ll announce specific testing periods when we need additional participants. However, you can still apply to become a beta tester for the Fairphone 4 or 5 and potentially be eligible to receive a free Fairphone 4 or 5 for testing.
