Hey Whats Up Im Kim Uk Here And This

this is not a normal phone so you know they say the best way to act is if everyone else acted like you, then the world would be great to be the change you want to see in the world right so in this world of constant UK and this fight for better more repairable gadgets. This is called the fairphone 4 and it’s aiming to do exactly that so at first glance. It’s a pretty basic looking phone. It’s 579 Euros or about 650 and that gets you a clean basic design flat front and back curves at the corners a little on the big side, but nothing we haven’t seen before that’s a 6. 3-inch 1080p display up front a metal frame, a fingerprint sensor on the power button and UK at the bottom and it has UK which.

Previous Earphones Didnt Have Looks Pretty Good

but that’s that’s just at first glance. This phone is designed from the ground up to be sustainable modular, repairable and upgradable by you. That is very unlike any other phone out right now so how do they do it well? You start with the basics. You saw the packaging which is recycled paper and cardboard printed with soy ink so this packaging is entirely sustainable. Then the phone itself is pretty easy to get into for anyone not just professionals anyone so you get into this Notch down here built into the corner of the phone and that lets you pull off the soft touch fully recycled plastic back cover and that lets you get into all the parts of this phone.

So The 3 900 Milliamp Hour Battery

that can be easily popped out replaced just like the good old days. And then the rest of the pieces are all easily accessible by just 12 screws, so you just need a little Phillips screwdriver to jump right in and then each of the parts pops right out like a puzzle piece, so it isn’t necessarily individual components, but the camera and speaker housing up here at the top can be removed and replaced pretty easily. If you take off the bottom you can replace your speaker module for a new one. I literally just popped a ribbon cable off and was able to remove just just the UK type-c port from this phone so if your Port breaks or gets loose you don’t have to replace all of the inside of your phone. You don’t have to pay someone an exorbitant amount of money.

You Dont Have To Throw It

all out and buy a whole new phone. You just head. to fairphone’s website and scroll through the list of modules and pieces that they sell and buy exactly which one you need then when you get it. You take the phone apart pretty quickly and easily and can replace it so like I said it’s not like other phones, you know these days in a normal smartphone. If one little part breaks typically that’s.

You Know You Have Very Limited

options where fairphone envisions a future where anyone can identify something broken or something they want to upgrade and just do it themselves. So that’ll include your battery, your rear-facing camera, your front-facing camera, your speaker, your earpiece, your UK port and of course your display. The whole front. The display is easily removable with a single ribbon cable and that replacement to the user is 80 euros and honestly very easy to do yourself off. Unlike pretty much every.

This Phone Scores A 10 Out Of 10

repair score from UK. There’s no glue No complex screws nothing to make it unnecessarily difficult to take apart, and it comes with a five-year warranty, including a promise to support the phone and sell the spare parts for five years After the phone comes out it’s a dream so I am a huge fan of this Vision but it’s worth noting it’s not perfect right. This is where the inner instinct to review everything comes out for me like if you were to buy this 650-ish dollar phone. There are some obvious trade-offs so let’s just for the sake of example take the fair phone up against if you’re going to buy a phone something else of similar price like pixel 6. so for one the fair phone.

The Fair Phone Is A Thick

phone with about three C’s right. a little bit thicker and heavier than a pixel, but just enough where it’s not bad, but you can tell the difference in the hand and the specs and performance are just on different levels, so the pixels tensor chip feels roughly equivalent to a high-end. Snapdragon 8 series maybe a triple eight or an 865. . The fairphone has solid specs, but definitely closer to mid-range Snapdragon 750g and six or eight gigs of UK with 128 or 256 gigs of storage that incredible removable battery that I talked about it is 3 900 milliamp hours, but that is smaller than the 4600 that they fit into the pixel 6 and then the display.

While Its Pretty Big And Bright And

covered in Gorilla Glass 5. It would also be a relatively weak point in a phone in this range at 1080P 60hz. NK] phones like the pixel 6 would. you a larger brighter, higher refresh rate display that gets much closer to the edges and is UK with all the color and feature benefits that come with that and then of course, we all know about the pixel and its new cameras. The fair phone does have a 48 megapixel main camera and a 48 megapixel Ultra wide and a time of flight sensor in this array back here, but there there are acceptable it looks kind of like a Moto G or a Samsung, a series phone where they’ll give you passable photos in decent light, but as soon as the conditions get tough They kind of fall apart.

There Is Also A Slightly Lesser Ip54 Splash

resistance rating for this phone, which is actually kind of amazing for a phone built like this, but that is less than the IP68. The full submersion protection for the pixel. There’s also no wireless charging the point is you know These two phones are pretty similar functionally. They’re both Android phones but as a customer choosing to buy one. You have to really value the repairability and the sustainability offered by the fair phone to pick it over the pixel or really any other phones in this range.

Now Part Of That Is Because Its

hard to do all those things in a super tightly built Gadget and do all the repairability and modularity on top of that but also the other part is is a small company that doesn’t have the same resources to make an incredible world-class bleeding edge phone that’s tightly packed and keep the sustainability stuff in their supply chain and keep the price competitive so here’s my take there is no such thing as a 100 percent sustainable phone like this like if you go. Far enough you’ll find things eventually that are imperfect? So there is no perfect sustainable smartphone, but the fair phone represents the furthest anyone has ever gone by far. There’s a lot of different materials that go into building a smartphone plastic glass aluminum nickel copper Fair phone goes the extra mile to Source those build materials fairly and responsibly, which definitely costs more so the back cover of this phone like I mentioned is made from 100 recycled plastic and over 50 percent of the plastic inside This phone is post-consumer recycled then the aluminum rails come from an UK certified vendor meaning worker health and safety are protected and no child labor is used and even for other mined materials like tin and tungsten and the lithium in the batteries that make sure to invest in sustainable sources or use mines that have been assessed by Irma. The initiative for responsible mining Assurance, but even so the world still has a Cobalt shortage today, so mining it at all is not ideal. We really should be recycling it way more than we do but a ton of the world’s Cobalt is sitting in drawers.

Theres Apparently 300 Million Phones Just Sitting Hibernating

in drawers right now doing nothing in just Germany and France imagine how much that scales up for the entire world and then of course you can go even further and further back like I can already see the UK comments like well what about the computers they’re using to design. These are those sustainable what about the buildings that they operate out of where is there solar panels on the roof of the studio. They shut their commercials in like nothing is 100 perfectly wholly sustainable and even fairphone could do better There is no. Charger in the Box in the pixel 6 and a lot of their phones in that price range and there’s also no charger in the Box for the fair phone, But like I said Fairphone is setting the bar by going farther than anybody else and even the case that they’re not perfect Fair phone. The company is pledging their entire company to be UK neutral meaning for every phone.

They Put Out Into The Market.

They collect an equal amount of UK that explains the slot in the packaging where you can drop your current device and send it back to them to be recycled. This is the most sustainable phone in the world and it’s a real phone that you can buy and kinda. It’s only available in Europe so to get it to the UK I had to import it, but it’s real it’s a real phone.

So It Can Be Done So The

real question is this is one can other phones be this sustainable too yes and no so one Curious Thing That was mentioned in Fairphone’s official video when I was on their site is that they have to in order to offer these five years of replacement parts. They have to maintain a good relationship with those parts vendors and their suppliers and so they can’t use two extreme or too low Supply versions of Parts. They need to use mostly average parts, so the phone has to be an average size and use mostly average specs. Like basically Fair phone.

The Company Isnt Big Enough To Be Designing

every single thing inside their own silicon their own image sensors their own displays so they’re Bound by those suppliers and what they can continually Supply, but even for the others. These Mega companies. Out there who don’t have those same bounds? We are often rewarding the phones out there that are pushing the limits that are actually unique and that are different for a change that is by definition the opposite of average that is the opposite of sustainable, But I still think there’s room for these other companies to take parts of what verifone is doing things like not using a ton of glue and not using a bunch of different complex screws and just making their parts in general a bit more accessible and more repairable and thus a bit more sustainable so look. I don’t think fairphone is ever expecting to be a leader.

A Global Leader In Smartphone Sales

like they’re never going to pass Apple or Samsung or Huawei or anything like that but what they are doing is proving that there are real ways for smartphone companies. to do better for all of those companies to have better practices and even small changes from those companies can make a big difference. So from here on out I want to make a pledge to include some section in all of my.
