The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

They make the problem of their supply chain clear. And still, it is probably the most "fair" phone you can get, so I dont understand the critizism really.

Why arent you criticizing all the other manufacturers, that dont even try to do anything positive? Its always the small companies, that try to improve on things and then get shitted over for not going all the way. I dont understand it...

Because there are some other manufacturers, e.g. Samsung, which don't manufacture in China (for the most part), and IMO the problem of centralizing the world's supply chain in China is more important than what Fairphone is trying to do.

I don't understand how manufacturing in Korea is better than China. Hell, I'd call that pretty centralized still because it still relies on the same logistical problems.
