Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

The phone is great and things can be replaced easily. My only issue with the phone is it's price. It's quite high compared to phones with similar specs.

It's because they try to ethically source as much of the phone as possible, and go out of their way to pay fair wages and ensure no forced labour is used in the supply chain.

Unfortunately that adds significant cost.

They only harvest from sustainable phone forests. 👍
