To earn profit, obviously the main reason. This is still overpriced, no matter what you say.

justasmile, 10 Feb 2024Unsure about the camera but the 'non-removable battery... moreNonsense... just nonsense. A glueshut device does not offer protection against water nor against dust but only if it is actually made to resist this elements. Second, to have a removable battery against a glueshut device, is like comparing a glueshut car gassoline tank where you have to use tools to open it to insert fuel and glue to shut it back after full, against a car that all it needs is a key to open the tank cap and insert fuell, yet still callng the first variant the better way to do it, in what world?
Also do you understand the reason this devices exist? Ever heard of the right to repair? Sustainability and fair wages? to name just a few... yeah there was a time when all this words were not needed because it was the norm, probably you were not born back then.
Tough to deny the fact that this device is better then any other in respect of usability and comfortability, sustainability and repairability, and strip it off of it's qualities just by comparing it to a glueshut garbage, while calling it overpriced, is nothing less then pure ignorance.

Bruno, 10 Feb 2024You have the phone youreelf? What’s your experience so far? Yes Im using FP5 myself it is a very good phone and it offers everything you need, plus the environmental aspect that other brands lack completely. So far I can say that there is no need to get another phone in the coming years, software support till 2031 and parts that get worse because wear and tear, i.e. the battery are replaceable, by yourself. I know someone who got a FP2 and only upgraded to FP4 when the FP2 was 7 years old! That pretty much says it all really. Enjoy your phone 👍🏻

Bruno, 10 Feb 2024I havent mentioned the word repairability once in my commen... moreUnsure about the camera but the 'non-removable battery' of Samsung s24 is actually quite easy to remove, with just pull tabs. The back cover, while can't be 'removable', is still easy to remove with just some tools, isn't it? A glue-shut device also means more protection from water and dust too.
This, at the end of the day, is still overpriced. But looks like it's the only option for if you want an actual removable battery and extremely modular phone, so yeah.

justasmile, 10 Feb 2024It's not worth paying premium for just the repairabili... moreI havent mentioned the word repairability once in my comment, however that is a nice bonus also how do you want to replace your camera module or battery in a super expensive S24? In this phone you have a removable back cover so easy.
I am interested in this phone because of the ideology of the company, I don’t care about high end specs and whatever cuz I don’t need it I’m not exactly a power user. I want a sustainable phone with long support, I rather give my money to a company like Fairphone than to the conglomerates. And this phone is something different than all the rest which I like. So definitely going to see it in the shop in a few days very interesting!

I am considering to buy this phone really I love the ideology of this company there is no such other phone maker that embraces this idea. Interesting device and I am going to my local retail store where they actually have one on display also the have other phones on display but curious about this particular phone and the fee just Wana know more about it.

ZeroWalker, 06 Feb 2024It´s not about paying premium for environment friendly I do... moreWell, not cheaper but much better value for money. And the repairability of Samsung's phones have increased so they should be cheaper.
Repairability is just an excuse for Fairphone to overprice their devices, but those dudes would defend it anyway. It should've been 479 USD. Or best, at least a Snapdragon 8 gen 1 performing chipset for 629 USD.

Hzzif, 22 Jan 2024I'm not a Fairphone fanboy lmao but so many immature c... moreIt´s not about paying premium for environment friendly I don´t give a dang about that. I got the phone because repair ability which is more than I can say about Samsung or Iphone. Oh no the mic broke on my Iphone/Samsung guess I have to buy a new phone for 1300-1500 bucks because repairing the phone costs me half the price on what I paid for it. And Apple they rather don´t repair phones at all they rather you pay 1300-1500 bucks to get the latest model.
So honestly the sustainability is my least concern. Being able to repair my phone my self and only paying for the part is what I want.
Also 600 bucks is over priced ? and 1200-1500 bucks for a Samsung S24 or Iphone 15 is allot cheaper ?

It also isn't too expensive so I think it's a good option for you charging at 30W it should be faster that your old one.
