OK, I understand. However if you want a more durable device, you might find cheaper used FP4 as well on the market, if you like and can afford it…
It’s going to sound really silly, but I honestly had never considered that hfdjhg. Thank you for the advice! Will do!!
Hello !

Marie
I contact you via PM
Hi Antoine,
I’m also interested in the FP3 main camera module. I’m also in Paris and I could come around to avoid shiping. Thanks in advance !

Hi Margarita,
Sorry they’re sold out at the moment…
Good luck in your search!
Hi Antoine,
If you run into any other back camera module for FP3+, do let me know. I’m looking for one.
Thanks
J.
Hello Antoine, My FP died last week. Are the batteries offered for FP3+?
Hello, yes if you need but I can’t send them by mail unfortunately. Are you around Paris?
Thanks Margarita,
This seems to be a 12MB module. I believe FP3+ has a 48MB Camera. Not sure I want to spend that much in a downgrade.
J.
Actually the FP3+ camera module is also a 12Mpx camera, the ad was misleading, referring to the number of photosites instead of the number of pixels.
Thus, hardware downgrade would not be tremendous, as the upgrade was rather small. The most important upgrade to have with the FP3 is a software one, which is why Fairphone dumped the odea of a hardware upgrade for the next models (FP4 and FP5) and went in for a free camera software upgrade, which is actually much better and more ecological.
So for the FP3, changing the camera app to the Pixel port would improve the photo quality much more. You can use it with both FP3 and FP3+ camera modules for similar results but much better photos, especially in dark conditions.
Thanks Antoine for the tip.
Would I need any special tool (apart from the One that is supplied with FP3+) to change the Black Camera module?
J.
No, just the standard screwdriver and if needed an opening pick to detach the screen and module connector (or a spudger for this last one), but you can use your fingernails if you dare!
The steps and tools are detailed there:
Bonjour,
non je suis de Belgique. Est-ce qu’un envoi par Mondial Relay est envisageable, moyennant paiement de ma part évidemment?
D’avance merci
Arnaud
Je te réponds en MP.
Hi,
I’m in need of a rear module (if that’s the one with the plastic frame (?) as that’s the only thing I need).
Is it still available? =)
And if you happen to have a protective bumper or case I would be happy to buy one.
/Henrik
Yes I have one.
I’ll send you a PM.
Hi Antoine
I live in Switzerland and am looking for a Camera 3+ Module. Can you provide one?
Cheers,
Christian
Hi Christian,
Sorry they’re out of stock at the moment…
I’ll tell you if I find one shortly.
