Fairphone 3+ modular smartphone with improved cameras introduced
The modular Fairphone 3+ smartphone debuted, an improved version of last year’s Fairphone 3. The differences between the devices relate to both hardware and software.
Both versions are built on the Snapdragon 632 processor, which contains eight Kryo 250 cores with a clock speed of up to 1.8 GHz and an Adreno 506 graphics accelerator. The smartphones have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of the flash drive (plus a microSD card).
The display characteristics have not changed either. A 5.65-inch Full HD + panel with a resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18: 9 is used.
Key changes affect the camera system. If the Fairphone 3 model is equipped with 8-megapixel front and 12-megapixel rear units, then the Fairphone 3+ version has 16-megapixel and 48-megapixel respectively.
As for the software part, the Android 9 operating system has given way to the more modern Android 10.
Smartphones are equipped with an NFC controller, Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac and Bluetooth 5.0 adapters, a USB Type-C port and a 3000 mAh battery.
The Fairphone 3+ will go on sale on September 14 at a price of € 469. Current Fairphone 3 owners will be able to purchase new camera units for an upgrade for € 70.
