It has three 50 MP cameras with optical image stabilization, an IP55 rating, and a 90 Hz refresh rate.^[7]

The phone ships with Android 13, though users can switch to other operating systems.^[7] It is reported that it will receive five major Android updates and eight years of security patches.^[9] This is possible because the system-on-chip it uses is intended for industrial internet of things applications and will have a longer support life than a SoC intended for consumer devices.^[10]

It mentions that the Fairphone 5 is a: "Significant improvement in camera performance, both in photo and video, over its predecessor."^[14] Android Police praised the phone for finally having a "modern design" but expressed concerns about how the processor will perform after years of use.^{[15][better source needed]}
