Review

Fairphone 6, reviewed by someone who writes device policy for a living

It is the first phone I would happily put on a corporate fleet. That is not a compliment about the camera.

Reviews of this phone usually open with the repairability score and close with an apology about the photos. Both are the wrong end of the device. A phone that goes on a fleet of four hundred is judged on a different axis: how long can I patch it, how predictably, and what happens on the day I cannot.

Seven years, in writing

The security update commitment is the specification. Everything else is trim. Seven years of patches, stated in a document, from a company that has so far done what its documents said, is a longer horizon than most of the fleet management contracts sitting next to it.

The camera is fine. Nobody has ever failed an audit on a camera.

Where it is annoying

It is thick. The fingerprint reader is on the side and it is a little slow. Neither of these will appear in your risk register.

The verdict a CISO would write

Approved, with the note that the enrolment flow needs testing against your MDM before you commit to a number, because it always does.
