It's impossible not to admire what Fairphone is doing. From its transparency in business to the ethical supply chain, the company is forging a path that's almost unique in the smartphone industry, and one other manufacturers should follow. Anyone concerne...
Easy to upgrade and repair, Ethically manufactured
Bulky, outdated looks, Expensive, No confirmation of software upgrades
Fairphone 2 – Audio As with the other hardware features, the rear-facing speaker on the Fairphone 2 isn't going to blow you away. It's fine for playing music now and then, or watching Netflix on the go, but you're not going to be amazed by the sound quali...
Fairphone puts its phone where its mouth is You've seen companies sticking bits of wood to their products and bleating about how they use sustainable materials. You've watched airlines and car adverts talking up their eco-credentials while farting greenh...

Ethically sourced materials, Easy to repair for most users, Eye, catching exposed design
Average camera performance, Battery is hit and miss, High up, front cost
The Fairphone 2 wants to change the way smartphones are thought about, manufactured and repaired, from ethical sourcing to easy repairing. They're noble ambitions but we'll have to wait for the Fairphone 3 for a truly compelling handset...
The Fairphone 2 is a truly exciting smartphone with its modular design that means you can easily repair it yourself so it lasts longer than a regular handset. The current device doesn't have outstanding specs so won't appeal to power users but when you ca...
Fully modular, robust design, spare parts cheap, 4G, conflictfree materials, ethically manufactured, recycled by manufacturer, DualSIM, expandable memory
Random call drops, Fickle touchscreen, very basic design, average specs for price

fair production conditions, module design, dual-SIM + micro-SD, bright Full HD panel, high system speed, LTE
high price, Android 5.1 only, bulky casing, no NFC, screen flickering, charger not included, throttles during load, weak battery
Fairphone's 2 is outside all manufacturing conventions and has a simple, unique selling point with its modular design. However, the smartphone will have a hard time on the market due to its high price.The review sample comes with a real killer feature, an...
Made with conflictfree minerals. First modular phone to ship, and first 10/10 rated phone on iFixit. Made to last, offers replacement parts at a reasonable price
Unattractive design with matte cover: pick it in transparent or translucent colors. Poor choice of camera, outdated 32bit processor. Kinda bulky. Kinda pricey

Easy to repair and (potentially) upgrade, Supports ethically-conscious electronics, A unique prospect in the market
Bulky compared to flagship smartphones, Bad camera and lackluster performances, Expensive based on specs alone
