The rear cover opens to a user-replaceable battery; Fairphone also sells the display, cameras and USB-C assembly separately.

What to check before buying

Repair documentation
Fairphone publishes separate battery and display instructions.
Fasteners
Opening uses Torx T5 screws; the two long outer screws must not be fitted without the rear cover.

Battery and screen

Fairphone publishes separate battery and display instructions. The battery is reached from the rear rather than through a glued screen.

Other modules

Fairphone also publishes camera and USB-C assembly instructions. The two long outer screws can damage the phone if tightened without the back cover in place.
