The Best Smartphone on Earth - (Not Clickbait)

Today we take apart AND durability test the all new Fairphone 5. The newest modular android flagship. Normally smartphones are glued shut, anti-consumer and designed to be obsolete by the time the next years model gets released. But the company Fairphone is different. With a full 5 year warranty - 8 years worth of updates - and most importantly easy to purchase repair components direct from the manufacturer... The Fairphone 5 is easilly the Best smartphone on the planet.

Let Fairphone know in the comments if you want to see the Fairphone 5 here in the USA!

This should be a standard for every phone manufacturers on earth.

It's still a shocking thing for me about how we went from modular phones that were easily repairable TO compact low repairability phones TO repairability as a feature and now also as a Right to Repair 😶

[HyperScorpio]

Do note the advantage of the replaceable battery

You can always have a charged spare on your person and if you run down, just pop the charged one into the phone and be back up and running in 20 SECONDS instead of 30 minutes

Got mine two weeks ago, it does everything I expected from it, love the 5 year warranty and the 8 years of updates.

What most people are overlooking when it comes to the battery - you can easily carry around 2 additional batteries (that you charged with an external battery charger) in your pocket and change it on the go, it takes less space and is far more convienient than carrying a powerbank and having to use a phone with the power bank plugged in

[galgrunfeld]

I absolutely love the combination of Right to Repair, EU regulation tightening, and companies like FairPhone and Framework making tech repairable and modular.

Fairphone and Frameworks laptop are really going to be my main devices in near future.

Fairphone needs to expand it's reach to markets like US and Asia; cause it's so damn good to be true!

I've had a fairphone 4 since release and not had any problems apart from the usb port struggles to grip the plug now. I bought the replacement part a few days ago and even the fairphone shop seems more ethical than usual; I gave them a delivery address and card details and that was it. You don't realise how annoying online shopping normally is until you use a website that doesn't push you towards setting up an account, upselling or joining a mailing list.

This is everything Apple is against and is lobbying against. Hopefully consumers vote with their wallets and this becomes a standard (like it once was).

Update: 2 months ago, watching this video inspired me to buy the same exact phone! I have it on Mint Mobile unlimited while using it for YouTube Music and Sirius XM. The 5G connection makes this phone a great performer, but it's built-in speakers, cameras and mics still have certain performances to be desired.

Reminds me of when it was standard just a few years ago for phones to have removable batteries and MicroSD slots until everyone started copying Apple, we went backwards in so many ways with phone technology. Hope Fairphone propels us forwards again, I also hope the UK passes even more and stricter laws about this sort of thing and that replicable batteries and USB-C ports was just the beginning.

For university I researched fair phone. They are a company that is still expanding and doesn’t even have resellers in every EU country. It’s the largest in Germany & Austria and is based in Amsterdam.

To those who dont remember, this is how most smartphones used to be built until Apple decided to build in obsolescence to all there iphones. Samsung quickly followed and the rest is history. Sometimes the old ways are recognised as being the best.

[Egonk]

Fairphone shows, that even today it IS possible to build repairable phones - so it is really that their competitors are not willing to build repairable phones at all... I would be already happy with an easy to change battery. Think about what Apple or Samsung could achieve with their billon dollar budgets and their engineering power, when a benefit cooperation like FairPhone can do that.

If the Fairphone 5 fully came into the US market, it would be my next smartphone purchase as my first android. Been sick of all the companies making it utterly impossible to either get stuff fixed for fair pricing or even by myself.

[chartphred]

I do wish it had a 3.5 mm jack and IR blaster.
Still better than many other phones out there and on my short-list.

This is the first video I've seen from you and my heart stopped at 05:40 when you started to scratch the body. Shocked goosepumps.^^

[TherdAyin]

Ok the moment you pulled the USB C off just like that I was immediately sold. This is incredible... Just to think this kinda thing was always possible but intentionally avoided by large companies is just infuriating.

[guaiqueritech]

I’m truly impressed.

People, just remember: these initiatives are only viable if enough phones are sold. This has just become an option for my next personal phone (I just hope it is available in the US when the time comes)
