Fairphone 3 Teardown

Editing Step 8 —

Drag to rearrange

Not satisfied with merely removing the modules, we bust out our Torx T5 screwdriver and an opening pick and tear down even more.

Starting with the top module:

The 8 MP ƒ2.0 selfie camera and earpiece speaker are both removable.

The headphone jack as well as the proximity and ambient light sensors are soldered onto the breakout board.

The camera module carries a modular 12 MP ƒ1.8 camera with a SONY IMX363 Exmor RS sensor. The flash LEDs are soldered onto the breakout board.

The bottom module contains the vibration motor, and a soldered-on USB-C port and microphone.

The loudspeaker module is the loneliest of the bits clinging onto the bottom module with its two contacts.
