“Remember, swapping out your battery is always faster than charging"

Love that you're giving these sustainability companies the shine they deserve

Crazy how removable battery feels like a new thing

Great review! I watched it on my Fairphone 3. I bought it two years ago. Last year, I installed an upgraded camera. Just a couple of weeks ago, I replaced my damages usb-c port. Looking forward to at least 3 more years of using this phone. Recycling your old devices is a great idea, but also remember that the most sustainable phone you can use is the one you already own. So don't buy the latest if your current phone will do and make an effort to keep your current phone running smoothly. Finally, one thing that wasn't mentioned in the video is that these phones are assembled in Chinese factories, but that Fairphone ensures fair wages and working conditions for factory workers. Cheers everyone!

Its nice to see that the whole “modular” idea is coming back in a proper way.

The fair phone is most definitely “pushing the limits” and “actually unique”. It is an important step to a better future. They’re setting the bar.

My favorite part of the Fairphone is the fact you can replace the display and the USB C. Those two parts are always the first to go, especially the display if you're careless
I'd love to see a big case for the phone to make it more rugged and eliminate it's weakness of low water resistance. I don't mind cases, I actually like thicker phones because I feel like I can grip it better. So I see it as an absolute win. I'm definitely switching when my current phone dies

It takes smaller companies to do something ambitious like this, hopefully at some point in the future the entire industry goes in this direction.

Watching this on my Fairphone. Delighted with it. The repairability combined with the ethical production line made it an easy choice for me

Really groovy that there is a company offering this kind of repairability on a phone like this. Not for everybody, some people won't want to do their own repairs anyways, but it is past time for us to have the choice.

Really glad to see this phone on the channel! Thanks for not being a cynic about it, you've always supported the right causes and I have mad respect

I really hope this thing catches up! And heartfelt thanks to MKBHD for pledging to include sustainability for all phone reviews going fwd. This is a big deal, man! Thanks for doing your part

I hope this catches on. Imagine wanting a better camera and buying an after market top notch camera module.

Regardless of the phone’s downsides, I have to give huge praises to Fairphone for creating a product that is not only sustainable and better for the environment, but a product that gives more power to the consumer. I hope other big tech companies take notice.

My Samsung Note 3 is still going strong (thanks to Lineage OS) but when it eventually breaks the Fairphone (probably version 5 or 6) will be one of the top options. I do not need the best specs in a phone (tbh phone-hardware hasn't really improved that much after the Note 3 anyway) but I value ecological, open source and repairability factors quite highly

This would be the perfect gift for the older generation who don't really care about gaming or the greatest performance, but rather more about being able to call and text friends and family, especially being able to swap out parts, it'd last many years.

Right to repair: I see this as an absolute win!

I think the best use of this phone would be as a company phone. Companies can easily pay for small damages and repair the parts that are needed while supplying their employees with a phone for work. Especially with the 5 year promise of supplying parts, this can go a long way

From 1:53 you can see the map of this richest country... my country (DR Congo 🇨🇩) from where come the most important and needed ore (Coltan) to built phones.
And this ore became the principal reason of instability (war and kids working and being used to get that ore for cent$) in a part of my country.
Congrats to the manufacturer for remembering the country

Perhaps the biggest question for Fairphone that wasn't addressed here is if the motherboard can be exchanged for a new one with a faster chip. That would REALLY make this an upgrade-able phone.
