Up next, the rear camera module.

Hopefully this unit could be upgraded in later years, à la Project Ara. Fingers crossed.

The camera itself is an 8 megapixel CMOS camera with a 1/3.2 inch sensor and an aperture of ƒ/2.2.

This module is built just like the others: a plastic case around an off-the-shelf component, connected to a pogo interface board via flex cable and connector.

Fairphone hasn't quite removed cables or connectors, they have moved them a bit farther from DIY fixers—greatly simplifying component swap repairs.
