The phone dropped today in price, color and storage. The new color is moss green and storage has been reduced to 128 GB instead of 256 GB. The price dropped from 650-700 to 550.

HMD Skyline is more expensive but also offers that feature. And the Fairphone 4 is cheaper and still gets good software support and long updates.

        Most of the commentors don't actually grasp the company's goals.
        The whole idea is to give privacy and stop the Google and Apple snooping.

          Thais phone hás potencial, but Thais interation is still too pricey. I wish the return of batteries in 2027 make The succesors of this phone more competitive and cheaper.

                Honestly, I don't understand what those of fairphone have in mind, on Android 14 they have totally eliminated aod because it causes excessive consumption, but I say, wasn't it enough to leave the decision to the user? But are these okay?

It's just a phone for longevity and therefore no e-waste. In fact, any single phone that is Impossible to repair for a low price, is e-waste. Of all modern phones in the gsm arena database, perhaps a handful is no e-waste, including this one. I know, in cases of underdevelopment, like you, it is hard to understand that products you simply dislike are not all e-waste or trash. But doing research will make one smarter. Try it.

Sorry, but not only that you have no idea of what this company stands for, you are not ready to understand it either. So better go your way and come back when you matured enough to understand the situation and why it should be like this in every segment, no matter if smartphones or wash maschienes..

                                There is definitely going to be a design philosophy put too the test of time
                                question is repair and replacement costs it's doubtful that money will be saved in the long-term as a Chinese phone is a lot cheaper plus has a changer in the box very high spec's but a good ifixit rating is a top priority in general which fair phone has

                                historically performance has been the deal breaker for Nokia budget phones
                                after 2 or more os updates phone's are just too laggy Nokia is unbearable

                                In general for most phones
                                if the battery still works & screen isn't broken or changing port difficulties is what goes wrong if no faults just strange & performance isn't usable anymore as a result of higher minimum hardware requirements for every updated app & web browser lagging

                                  This isn't going have longevity more than other phone's the reason is the price the problem is as this phone is very expensive it's the price of the repair costs & the phone it's self
                                  if I am not mistaken you're also got factor into the price the changer shopping as well as the phone separately not too mention the fual used too do so

                                  not even 500gb storage which isn't going age well
                                  I really dislike the hole punch screen this dead pixel can't be repaired

                                  Removable battery is a favorite but it is a small battery but I guess one could just buy a extra it looks like from what I've heard they listened and are trying get moduler soc which is one of the main problem's with smartphones if this is so Yes the phone should run smoothly In future as long as software developers of apps have a low minimum requirements for them if you're able use a future flagship soc snapdragon you're have a better than iPhone soc in the future on your smartphone as a result of PC like upgrade which be amazing

                                  On the topic of performance
                                  Google is at fault for a lot of the lagging if not most of it in the UI interface & browser a total ram hog it turns out it has been confirmed it's on purpose as well google does target Firefox as well with additional workload

                                  Having used Chinese market phones which are not artificially slowed down like western phones trying be smooth noted they are not as refined just sheer touch responsiveness & speed and price too performance
                                  ratio
                                  strong multi tasking as well

                                      Zen, 06 Jul 2024When will next Fairphone 6 comes out?Not anytime soon, they don't release a new phone every year. They rather release updates versions, it is less harmful because of environmental issues. Besides, if you can keep a phone for years, why release a new one everywhere?

                                        My point is, the phone is overpriced for the performance offered. They can give a Snapdragon 680, or even a 425 in there, but it all comes down to pricing.
