    I think the major difference between this phone and others is that it's not built around consumer mentality where you need to make the phone break a lot so you can sell a lot. A phone that's built to be easily repairable is a phone that will last really long. In today's age, medium-end phones like this will still be relevant for years simply because the hardware is really strong for the average use and user, so it will still perform given the chance. It's nice to see someone is thinking of the consumer as a human being instead of a money cow to milk, for a change.

    tbh i don't think the ppl in this commentsection are right to shame him for criticising a phone on his tech channel. For someone like me who wants to know about the phone, such an honest response gives me a good idea of the product and whether or not it's a good purchase all in all. He gives a different perspective than the one given by ethicsblogs or fairphone themselves, which is relevant. Criticism is not hate and the shaming in the commentsection is all but cute.

    Heard about this companies ethics, but came here to see what the phone actually performed like (unlike everybody else here who just wanted to hear you speak about how sustainable their business model is).

    Thank you for showing clearly the pros & cons of the hardware itself, as a tech channel should.

    Dude its bullshit fairtrade is the biggest scam ever pulled its a German public advertisment bureau . They rae the biggest scumbags ever enslaving third world country ppl by certification scam . Before those poor coffe farmers can sell with the fairtrade logo to them they have to be certificated and that costs them about 3000 euro for an extra 25 euro in wages every month not even enough to buy some fucking meat for dinner. 25 buck extra a month that pans out to working for those scumbags for the next ten years not making a penny extra because of the loan for the certification . i wish the world would know about their scamming enslaving ppl scum of the earth thats what fairtrade is .

    You will buy this phone for 500$ and think like you saved someone?! 😂
    Don't be silly my fellow human and don't be fooled so easily. It's made in Netherlands my fellow human, they don't own the metal industry which produces the parts for this ''unfairphone'', my Lawd they fooled you easily with this one…

    This could end up being the cheapest phone you'll ever buy. You can change all the internal parts, which means never having to buy another phone. You do not need more, more, more every year. I still use my 12 year old ipod. It catalogues 160Gbytes music collection. I've resisted bluetooth, cloud music, BS Spotify subscriptions and all that jazz. The £200 I spent on it has meant never having to pay anymore to listen to music.

    I'm sorry, but the smartphone industry doesn't work without child labour and landfills… If iPhone did what fairphone is doing they would cost about $5000

    Well the Fairphone 3 has just been upgraded to Android 10, and they aim to keep software updates for 5 years. Good luck with that on any of the 'budget' or 'same price point' smartphones you reference in the video; 18 months of upgrades and you'll be lucky! Since the Fairphone 3+ has been released, you can now buy the replacement cameras from that new model to put in your Fairphone 3; again, good luck doing that on literally any other smart phone. Yes, the price may appear high for the specifications, but it's just the actual real price that phones should cost if they weren't subsidised by virtually slave labour, exploitation, environmental destruction, and supporting conflict. Take a look at some of the Fairphone videos and you'll see the high cost of low price. It's not really a fair comparison unless you're comparing it to another ethically made phone.
