The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years - eviltoast
With five major OS ugrades and eight years of patches.

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

    I have had my fairphone 5 since October, and I am contempt content with it, ive noticed a few software bugs and made the customer support team aware about them and while I’ll admit their responses are rather slow at times, ive never had a problem with attitude or unhelpfulness so far from them.

    I will do what I can to genuinely keep this phone going until the security updates stop, being able to buy and replace the battery for a respectable 20 quid is incredible.

    I’m also very excitied to see what 2027 brings as that is the year manufacturers are required, if they want to sell in the EU, to make their phones extremely repairable

      Now that is something I did not know. Now I’m also very excited.

        I expect these companies will still be on top even if they made phones repairable. Like for example, you can only buy parts from official store or else phone will not work

        Oh I’m sure that he’ll personally put out his own fair phone. It will be the fairest phone, the fairest of them all! (His mirror told him so.)
