Camera problems on the Fairphone 3 — what is behind them?

With its 48 MP main camera, the Fairphone 3 offers significantly more resolution than older FP models. Nonetheless, a fall, moisture or a connector fault can damage the module. We regularly repair these typical problems:

  • Photos look blurry or grainy even though there is enough light
  • Camera app freezes or closes immediately on opening
  • Camera image shows a black picture with no obvious fault
  • Autofocus jumps back and forth without a result
  • Camera lens glass cracked or heavily scratched

How the Fairphone 3 camera repair works

  1. Register — no personal visit needed You register your device by phone or appointment booking. We collect the Fairphone 3 in Vienna or you send it in by post from anywhere in Austria.
  2. Diagnosis and fault analysis We check whether the problem lies in the camera module itself or whether the connector, software or other components are affected. Diagnostic check 25 EUR, waived on repair.
  3. Modular opening and camera module swap The FP3 is opened, the faulty 48 MP camera module is cleanly removed and a tested replacement module is fitted. Connectors are secured and checked.
  4. Function test — sharpness, focus, app launch We test image sharpness, autofocus, app stability and the flash function. The device is only returned once all camera functions work reliably.

Camera module for the Fairphone 3 — 48 MP, tested

Compared to the FP2, the Fairphone 3 has a significantly improved 48 MP main camera — a big leap in image quality. For the repair we use compatible camera modules that are tested for resolution, focus behaviour and app compatibility.

48 MP vs. 8 MP — the difference to the FP2

The FP3 camera module delivers considerably more detail and better results in low light than the older FP2 module. A module swap for 79 € restores the full 48 MP performance — with no compromises in resolution or image quality.

We use tested compatible 48 MP modules. Depending on availability, original modules from Fairphone can also be fitted — we inform you about this in advance.
