      This is a decent phone and what is more important really, really sustainable. I like the concept and that, every part of the phone -even the screen itself- can be user replaced only by a screw driver. But I have some consideration. First of the usage of amoled screen. Yeah it is fashionable and trendy, but amoled screens are prone to constant burn ins in a relatively short period of time (only jus a year). The other is the promised software support, which really convinceable, but as I know fairphone 4 with the same promise still stucks on android 11. In my point of view a long term software support does not mean that, the phone will receive the actual android version after 5 years of its release. It means a continous support, what samsung does with my xcover 6 pro.
      My verdict is that: it is a good handy, with decent and, what is more important, user replacable hardware elements. The concept is good, and I think it should be the future. But despite of these impressive features, I do not plan to replace my xcover 6 pro, which also has a user replacable battery and good software support. I think fairphone really needs to strengthten its software department if they want to be real pioneers of a sustainable future.

Sad but the vast majority of the world is like this person. It is what it is and that's why such people would never buy a Fairphone, but it's also why so many dedicated and people with awareness buy exactly a fairphone. A fairphone user would never buy a disposable cheap phone.

          It's a great price and if u know about phone repairing you can buy parts for 430€+shipping, so I think I will buy parts and make it miself. About charger, I still have Xiaomi 33W adapter from Mi 10t back in the day so no problem, warranty will not be 5 years but I don't care.

              You are not really right here. I as of now am a china phone user and all i can say is my xiaomi phone has lasted me 3 whole years with little to no issues compared to other bigger brand phones i've had. It is fast enough, cheap enough and has the best in class processor from 2020. Also i don't think all the manufacturing of this phone has strictly been in europe. All the phone parts come from either one or two places - china or india.

                If this phone had a 5000mha battery and a cheaper price...

                It would be great... With the big warranty and years of software updates...

                Samsung and other brands would fear this initiative to go green on the planet....

                  I'm quite puzzled... I just saw a video of a guy from norotome Sam who criticizes this terminal rather decisively, also comparing the pixel 7 price side. I can understand that there is a big difference but does it really suck to have a terminal that can reach 10 years of support? Does the absence of a Jack 3.5 really disqualify the terminal from sustainable? I repaired the terminals even before but this is really good.

The company doesn't sell chinaware amounts but it doesn't have to. Financially healthy and offering a product that is less to impact the environment. That is fairphone. It's about the quality, not about the quantity.

                        It's funny how people simply don't understand that this isn't supposed to be a cost-effective phone hardware-wise, they're all about making it only out of "fair materials" (Whatever the fuck that means), make it fully repairable, and support it for a long long time.

                        Those three are "features" that no other phone can offer.

                        Combine these three costly "features" with the fact that it's a niche product (I.e. it can't achieve economies of scale), and one has to wonder just how they're only selling it for $700. Actually, I have no clue as to just how this company has lasted this long.

                        There must be a LOT of people that are happy to pay triple to not pollute our environment, to not support mineral warlords who use child labour, etc...

This is a phone that in time can be repaired if something breaks, not just change the phone. And all the costs to make a product like this in Europe, is not the same like making it in China. There are lots of reasons for that price, which is high for most, but for small group of people who like this, is reasonable.

                                Even Xperia 5v is a better buy than this, only cost €150 more but much better chipset, camera and headphone jack. Why would you pay €700 for 778g performance?
