Fairphone 5 puts Apple, Google and Samsung to shame in one major way

Fairphone 5 lifestyle press image clear and blue

Netherlands-based eco-friendly phone maker Fairphone is at it again, introducing the Fairphone 5 almost two years on from its predecessor, with the promise of an even more environmentally friendly construction, more user-replaceable parts, and industry-leading long-term software support that shames the biggest rivals.

Fairphone has carved a space out in the mobile market by being the brand, when it comes to ethical and environmentally conscious smartphone production and sale. Longevity is a huge part of the Fairphone formula, with extended software support and a high-degree of user repairability, plus the offer of component-level hardware upgrades, so you don't have to replace an entire device to gain access to a nicer display or a better camera.
