Cost a little bit more but would rather get one of those premium brand instead of this no name. Those that want to have easily repairable phone will look at that and say I would just get a 250 buck phone and call it a day. If they can priced it at 500 USD, the we are talking.

In fact the Fairphone seems like its trying to be a climate change oriented product more than a "right to repair" product because of the hidden messaging and political nature.

I think that'd be really hard to implement besides maybe selling mainboards like framework is doing for example.

Being able to change the whole board in an old housing or offering screen upgrades for an old phone might be more doable (which would still be incredible). As for cameras, maybe if they made slots and modules for the cameras that could work?

Feels like this phone needs a 3.5mm why make a repairable phone when your gonna have to use a unrepairable headset with it

I am extremely impressed how modular and portable this phone is simultaneously. Making only Battery easily replacable would be a huge deal for Apple and Samsung. I hope they will be forced to do so

@@jeffgayzose8129 Why do you figure? There have been lots of water-resistant phones that had user-replaceable batteries, my point and shoot camera from 2010 had it, and if you can replace the battery you can reduce e-waste by a whole lot for a small investment. Batteries are one of the first parts with finite life to go on an otherwise healthy phone, it seems dumb that we lost the ability to replace them.

They would probably be better off using high quality batteries, along with battery care techniques, to deliver that battery longevity. I don't see why you would need to replace a battery if it did not go bad after a few years. Also using bigger batteries would help offset the loss due to battery degradation.

TBH I wanted a foldable. Samsung's overall design don't appeal to me, so I looked for Oppo Find N (not available outside CN but possible to buy and use in Europe). I really liked it but I was concerned about its overall durability. Then I saw his test and how well this phone behaved - that was a key point that made me make a decision to buy it. And after a year I don't regret it :)

Watching you take apart this phone is just so satisfying. Durability, repairability, plus 8 years of update is just too good.

My first "smart"phone had a removable back and replaceable battery (and a curved screen!), and I've missed it ever since. It was horribly underspecced for being a flagship because the "progress" of software and hardware was breakneck fast back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. As well as a very small battery (the specs moved faster than battery size could catch up), despite replacing it with a double capacity battery with a fatter back panel, the phone only really lasted 3 years before becoming unusable (early super amoled screen turned green yellow, battery gave out, no software updates, unsupported SoC and too weak to run newer community ROMs...). Said community ROMs did provide an extra year of valuable life and lots of features, but that's where it ended. Tried newer ROMs later for fun, not very usable. TLDR : glad fairphone are continuing to improve and getting regulation support, can't wait to see what smartphones will look like in 2027. Also I'm so glad the glass sandwich trend is finally starting to go extinct (Galaxy S23, Xiaomi 13, Pixel 8(?), ZenFone 10, Razr 40, all have plastic backs)

Modular innovation. I already love this phone.

I'm glad to see Fairphone 5 having about double the amount of replaceable modules in comparison to the last time I looked at one's disassembly. I didn't really like to have to replace half the phone's internals if I had any problems with a single component, but this seems to have internals split into a much more reasonable set of component assemblies.

Excellent product

this is a great video and great phone. However, you should just do your very traditional and vicious destruction test that we many love

Now with this kind of repairable it's probably worth for someone worried about this situation to actually have spare parts in your bag or in your car to be able to rapair the device on the go.

It's so cool how repairable this phone is! Great job, Fairphone!

why do people in support of right to repair make false claims about the repairability of popular phones; the iPhone is modular, the problem with it is that the components are serialized, so you better send it back to apple to have it repaired, which is more expensive. but that doesn't mean an iPhone is disposable. it is not. most of the components can be individually replaced. the screen, the type c socket, and the screen are all replaceable by third-party repair shops.

Since the days of the 1st Samsung Galaxy S, I dreamt about a modular(-upgradable) phone, I dreamt about my Galaxy S would be one. Because the S was about perfect size for me physically, but I would love to upgrade its screen to one with a bit higher resolution and brightness, just to name 1 desired upgrade from the many. This 8 years of software update for the Fairphone is crazy attractive for me, my current phone had around 3 years of updates(2 generations of Android, and the last safety update came in late 2021) I definitely will dig deeper in this phone, and it's nice that I could get one no problem (besides money) here in Europe! (It wasn't the first time I heard about this company tho)
