Fairphone is a movement for fairer electronics. Get the first look at our modular design for repair as we present the prototype of the Fairphone 2.

This does look like a nice smartphone which looks nicer than other smartphones which you can take apart.

I agree the look of the phone does not look like a very luxury phone like the iPhone, and higher priced Android phones.

It actually cost $590 US Dollars, so the price is not very low. But, the specs which include Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor ,2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 5 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel display, an 8MP rear camera, and a 2420 mAh battery are pretty good for a phone.

It also use its money they earn to care more about its factory workers, where its phone materials are coming from, and recycling its e-waste. Caring about workers, buying good materials, and recycling e-waste is rare in the electronics world since most companies hire workers who work in bad working condition, and they don't have good e-waste recycling programs. 

Factory workers deserve safe conditions, fair wages and worker representation. We work closely with manufacturers that want to invest in employee well being.

We want to integrate materials in our supply chain that support local economies, not armed militias. We’re starting with conflict-free minerals from the DRC to stimulate alternative solutions.

We’re addressing the full lifespan of mobile phones, including use, reuse and safe recycling. We believe that our responsibility doesn’t end with sales.
