I can see I’m being down voted so let me explain in more detail. There is a serious problem in the industry where failure rates are not being considered in regards to how environmentally sound a device is. Some manufacturers have historically very low failure rates and while others are very high.
There needs to be a lot more visibility of this as a high repair rate will absolutely kill any positive environmental impact these phones have. So tell us what you’re repair rates are.
Of course, if you genuinely want to help the environment stop getting new phones or buy secondhand.
The phone is repairable and parts are mostly user replaceable, that’s why you are being downvoted. Sustainability starts with making sure you support the device with software and parts over time, not just ethical sourcing.
The main problem, consistently is the battery and fairphone makes it fully user replaceable. It sure as shit is much better than just exchanging the device or charging so much for repairs that it’s equal/cheaper for the user to get a new one(*cough Apple, Samsung…).
