Hi everyone. I’m so happy to have bought my FP5 in October 2023, but after more than one year I can say it is too much big and heavy.
If Fairphone released a “smart” version of the FP5, I would buy it immediately; even with a similar weight, but currently, one-handed use is impossible. Both my partner and I have been searching for a smartphone that is more practical and less bulky. I decided to purchase the FP5 anyway for ethical reasons, but in the long run, its use is becoming burdensome.
Thank you nonetheless for creating and carrying forward this wonderful initiative.
If a slimmed-down Fairphone doesn’t come out, I’ll stick with my chunky one, which is giving my right thumb a real workout.

There’s a one hand mode in Android which might help you.
Apart from that the phone size request is an ever-green on this forum (see e.g. here: Smaller size Smartphone and more). Still I’m not expecting a smaller size model soon…
