  • There is a new upgradable modular flagship on the market, and its time for a durability test. Grab your RGB's from GTRacing here: allsha.re/a/46gEQQ4M2ch use Code 'JERRY' for $10 off. This new smartphone comes with a screw driver, cuz FairPhone knows that you don't actually own something unless you can repair it.

      MHKBD would find a way to dismiss this even if it drowned it in a few compliments. He would never give it a fair shot cuz he has such a strong business relationship with Apple and Samsung, and his audience are 90% apple and Samsung users. And none of them want to hear about how they're buying the wrong phones with the wrong features that are terrible for the environment.

      Galaxy XCover 5 has removable battery. But honestly I don't see any reason to buy a phone with removable back and battery because battery lasts for at least 3 years. In my case battery of my previous phone lasted for 4 years and it was still usable, I was getting 4-5 hours of SOT, and then it was replaced before giving it to another person. Spending 30-40 euro to replace the battery once for 3-4 years is not a lot.

    Interesting for sure. I hope they use that chassis as an upgrade path though. I love the idea here but would be nice to say buy an upgraded camera piece in a few years if some cool tech improvements happen. Or swap a main board upgrade if you need more processing power but the camera and the rest is less important. Maybe you want an OLED screen in a few years but happy with the rest etc... Basically I want a ATX like standard for mobile phone upgrades if fair does it and sells in the US then I'll take 5, one for me, the wife, and each kid.

    This could be a really great idea. You could upgrade the hardware over time, such as the cameras, to match the latest tech advances and maybe get a discount on the new hardware - part exchange your old hardware for a newer, more enhanced version. That way there's even less waste and the old hardware can be reused or recycled.

    Bought a Fairphone 3 about a year ago. Spilled water in the charging module by accident a few months back, leaving me with a phone where, left unused, it would take 24hrs to fully charge. I spent £18 on a new charging module that arrived from Fairphone in less than a week, and hey presto, it's good as new. I talk, a little flippantly, about this handset being the last smartphone I'll ever buy. Bearing in mind the Fairphone 2 (now 6 years old) was recently upgraded to Android 10, that might not be so aspirational as I originally thought. I work in sustainability, so having a smartphone that ticks so many boxes in line with those values is just amazing.
