I recently picked up a Fairphone 4. I got it mostly because of the removable battery and easy repairing, but it's nice to know I'm supporting a manufacturer that cares about sustainability.

Cool, are those the modular ones intended to be able to replace all the different pieces of it?

[โ€“] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. Basically every part of the phone is repairable and replaceable. I bought it after I accidentally water damaged my previous phone- an LG V20 that had served me faithfully for almost 6 years. I initially thought I might be able to just replace the display of my V20 because the rest of it works fine, but LG no longer makes phones (and the V20 is an older model), so I didn't have much option.
