The easy-to-tear down and repairable FairPhone 5 has made waves in the smartphone industry, earning a perfect repairability score of 10 out of 10 from ifixit's well-known disassembly experts. This particular rating underscores Fairphone's commitment to making products that are not only durable, but also easy to repair and have a long lifespan.
Judging by the ifixit teardown, the era of rubber backs and proprietary components in front of this phone is gone. This smartphone user can simply open the back cover, replace the battery, and anyone with basic tools can fix it. This user-friendly design goes beyond non-removable batteries. The FairPhone 5 has an easy-to-remove connector module, has individually replaceable camera sensors, and clearly marked cables and components.
There are a lot of benefits of this repairable phone. It reduces the need to constantly upgrade and replace mobile phones, minimizing e-waste and its harmful impact on the environment. In addition, it enables users to extend the life of the device. Save users money and promote a more sustainable tech ecosystem.
At the same time, Fairphone 5's commitment to sustainability is not limited to repairability. It still has an IP55 rating, which protects it from dust and water splashes, ensuring that it is resistant to daily wear and tear. Fairphone prioritizes environmental protection in the selection of materials for mobile phones.
Fairphone opted for the unconventional Qualcomm Snapdragon QCM6490 SoC, which, as Qualcomm puts it, is a chip "built for industrial and commercial IoT applications." This is the fastest industrial chip produced by Qualcomm. The QCM6490 has longer lifecycle support than consumer products with Qualcomm's Snapdragon flagship chips.
At the same time, Fairphone actively promotes sustainable practices beyond the product itself. They offer comprehensive repair guides and resources, as well as a plan for end-of-life equipment. This holistic approach demonstrates their genuine commitment to minimizing the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of their products.
More than just a phone, the Fairphone 5 challenges the current norms of "single-use electronics" and paves the way for a more responsible and sustainable technological future.
By prioritizing repairability, longevity, eco-sourcing and socially responsible practices, Fairphone offers a great option for eco-conscious consumers who are looking for a phone that is both operational and planetary.
