If you want to use an older flagship or just hold on to your existing phone, then I think the people at Fairphone will be quite happy to see you follow that line of thinking.
What they sell you is a new phone that will last you a while. Besides the repairability part, the module focused design probably makes it quite sturdy and the chipset will last you as long as you have it if you don't demand the best in mobile gaming graphics.

Buying this does not make you green. The materials are more plastic, such as the frame, which despite recycling, consumes energy. The price tags charged make this phone extremely niche, and as such, ruins its purpose in that it is not much better than buying a former 'flagship' and then using it for 3 years.

People who buy Fairphone are the kind of people who support the company's movement for fair trade and wages alongside sustainability and longevity. Show me another phone that scores 10/10 for the repairability score from iFixit. Fairphone is the sort of company that never believes with short term planned obsolescence. Heck, none of the materials are coming from companies that pay low wages, particularly involving child laborers. I would happily say that big companies like Xiaomi wouldn't dare to do such thing.

Grace, 30 Aug 2020Does anyone know if this phone will come with FM radio?In this holy hour I asked the same from FP, on their webpage, because there is a huge argue on the same place at topics. Nobody knows the true, it seems, but probably the chipset is let it, tha softwer not.

Why pay 470 plus new parts for a phone that looks like it came straight from 2015, both in looks and in specs? I could buy one for 100 as good as this one or grab 400 or 600 and buy a badass phone like the Nord or the Mi10 and not walk around looking like a damn idiot with a 470 phone that looks like shit

LoeWn, 27 Aug 2020You don't get it do you? It's not (much) about the pollution of the fabrication ... moreYou dont get it, do you? With this price I can buy 3 for 150, one much better now, one much much better after 2 years, and one much much much better after 4 years. I don't know why would I want a huge phone with huge bezels and a chip from 2016 right now, so I don't even know why would I want this shit in 2 years from now, no matter how much I upgrade it(giving more money to those scammers focused on selling way overpriced phones to the braindead environment feel better about themselves)

The price is enough for me to forget about them. They could get secondary money when selling the swappable component, but still sell the phone overprice based on spec. Unless the 470 EURO include with all the swappable component, but not gonna be environmental for that since low component will be left to dust. Wew~ that pricing isnt fair at all, can get A LOT better chipset and battery with that pricing which could be use 4-5 years. People will get bored with the same thing

Anonymous, 27 Aug 2020Apple, the evil masters, do serious recycling and you won't even hear a word about it: ... moreIt's not only about recylcing, it's about fair trade as well. Some 7 year olds got a couple of fine dollars every week for helping mining recourses for your Apple device, or whatever other brand you might come up with. Fairphone's devices don't contain such materials. Besides of that, they want you to hold longer onto your device instead of renewing it every year. Fixing things can be done easily with the modular design, instead of replacing the phone. Upgrading internals is going to be an option too. I think you missed the whole point of this company but ok.
