In a bid to reduce global electronic waste, Fairphone has created a smartphone that owners can repair themselves. What makes its technology so sustainable?
This is a great idea. The execution is dumb af tho. I own multiple phone repair shops and we get customers with these every once in a while, even though they should be able to fix them themselves. These phones are more of a budget, mid-tier, low build quality and bad material choice option amongst other phones. They are not competitive at all, there is no real reason to choose a Fairphone over some Samsung or other Android phone for the same price. It gives no incentive, is not a good deal whatsoever and the fucking things still break out of nowhere after 2 years.
