Today we take apart AND durability test the all new Fairphone 5. The newest modular android flagship. Normally smartphones are glued shut, anti-consumer and designed to be obsolete by the time the next years model gets released. But the company Fairphone is different. With a full 5 year warranty - 8 years worth of updates - and most importantly easy to purchase repair components direct from the manufacturer... The Fairphone 5 is easilly the Best smartphone on the planet.

I'm immediately suspicious the second I hear a company start using terms like "earth," "ethically sourced," and "fairtrade" because in my experience it's all a bunch of woke BS. I also have never used anything made by this company.
But as a regular viewer of the channel JerryRigEverything I've watched a lot of expensive cell phones being disassembled and, I have to admit, I have never seen a cell phone this user-repairable.

[servo1969]

Oh, and not available in the USA.

If it was I might seriously consider it on my next upgrade.

“I’m immediately suspicious the second I hear a company start using terms like “earth,” “ethically sourced,” and “fairtrade” because in my experience it’s all a bunch of woke BS.”

I go a step further and refuse to buy from such companies (as much as I can).

I bought some wax-coated excelsior fire starter. The box says “Eco-Friendly.” Sheesh, a thing used to start fires is “Eco-Frinedly”?

[BipolarBob]

Oh, and not available in the USA.

I wonder who saw to that.

[CodeJockey]

8 years worth of updates

???

[Yo-Yo]

Oh, and not available in the USA. If it was I might seriously consider it on my next upgrade.

I'm also a subscriber and saw this video this morning, and thought that it's time to replace my iPhone 8 so I'd consider moving to Android, until he said that part about not being available in the U.S.

Bummer.

Every spy agency and organized crime outfit on the planet thanks you for letting them snoop on you.

There is no such thing as a “private” cell-phone.

Luddite bump!

[Pollard]

But like all alternative/open source type phones, it's coming, soon, honest, just a few more years and we'll be up to speed.

PRE-ORDER: I've been tracking these alt-phones for years and none have ever made it to full production levels.

[Bounced2X]

I have a flip phone. It'll run some apps, that I've never used. Haven't downloaded anything, not that that will necessarily stop anything from getting on it I don't know about. Can't remember how old it is, but it's pretty old by today's standards. Only used for calls and texting. SMS only, no MMS. My plan is as basic as you can get.
I can take the battery out too.

[Codeflier]

Somewhat interesting...however, too much focus on social justice and environmental BS. Keep the focus on technology, or I don’t trust it.

[telescope115]

For me, I am happy with my iPhone. No (Google) Android for me.
And just because it’s called “Fairphone”.

[bigbob]

And it runs Android shiitewear

[newfreep]

Chinese produced iphone certainly doesn’t have any Chinese spyware....right?

[telescope115]

Well, it might. It seems like we can’t get away from it. I’m sure the Chinese have better targets than me…

[newfreep]

LOL...there are MANY others besides YOU that have Chinese Communist Party produced iphones.

[Gil4]

And just because it’s called “Fairphone”.

I agree. I'm holding out for the Goodphone, the Excellentphone, or maybe the Outstandingphone. If it's new and just fair...

[telescope115]

I know- just about everything we buy these days comes from China, it seems.
THANKS Nixon, THANKS Bush Sr. …. THANKS. Clinton, Obama….🙄

[newfreep]

So you're OK with buying YOUR phone from the Chinese Communist Party?

And you're OK with everyone in America buying their phones from the Chinese Communist Party?

And yet you rant about Android phones...

[Chgogal]

“I’m sure the Chinese have better targets than me…”

You can bet on that. That is why you are not the target. It’s the other guy.

[zeugma]

Yeah, he could lay off the eco-weenie nonsense, but I'd like a phone like this. I recently ordered a Framework laptop, as I like the modularity of it. Like this phone, it's entirely user-servicable.
