Why are they including the samsung galaxy book, which is a laptop but not samsung phones, in a mobile phone comparison?
full score on tech sustainability for the company that removed the headphone jack at the same they they releases Bluetooth headphones while their earlier models still can’t call properly! Whoohoo
Info on categories. looks like they’re not even taking into account repairability in climate. I’d guess that’s why apple is scored highly.
Can some investor pour 100 million or something into fairphone so the phones actually become good?
If it’s your average investor, they’ll want a return, which will make fair phone stop being ethical.
Isn’t fair phone a for profit company? If it is, doesn’t change much.
If it is a non-profit, then that’s even better, lets get some philanthropist on it.
For profit and for infinitely exponentially increasing profit are two different business types.
There are always exceptions to the rule, but the former usually turns into the latter given enough time.
Only if outside investment is involved. You can survive as a business by just doing good business for quite a while.

Other than being a bit thick, the Fairphone 5 is actually a very good phone.
You have one? I’ve heard bad things about software compatibility.
Yes. Although I don’t know what you mean with “software comparability”.
I am still on the stock Android it comes with, which works fine but is still infested with Google stuff. I am not sure about the state of alternative ROMs, but I think it is not bad given how relatively new the hardware is. Personally I plan to switch to PostmarketOS or Mobian once that support matures a bit, but it seems to be almost there now.
Sorry meant compatibility, thanks for the response. Bluetooth and audio has been working okay?
I’m also a FP5 user, FP3 before that. Never had any problems whatsoever.
Used /e/ for a while on FP3, that was mostly fine but some annoyances like the camera being less good. So I switched back to stock android. Might try /e/ again soon though.
I haven’t had any problems with apps, audio, bluetooth, anything.
Yeah, no problems with Bluetooth and audio here. Wifi reception is probably the best I ever had on a smart-phone.
Dang, wish I had enough money to afford an ethical phone =(
Good news, you (probably) can! Find a flagship phone you like from a year to three ago, and go buy a gently used one. Buying things used is almost always better for the environment than buying them new.
Worthless table, biased as fuck.
Yeah, yeah, the Fairphone is very fair until you’re forced to use their software because they’re unable to collaborate with GrapheneOS because they leak keys, all their bootloader security is bullshit and they don’t care about making it right.
