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 customser support team aware about them, and while I’ll admit, their responses are rather low at times, ive never had a problem with attitude or unhelpfulness so far.

    I will do what I can to genuinely keep this phone going until the software 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

        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.)

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