Austin you are missing a big piont here. The idea of this phone is not only that it is modular. The materiale used for this phone is all FairTrade, wich means most of the metals like gold, copper and kobolt are from mines where the workers have good working standards and good salary. No kids has worked 12 hours a day just so you could get a stupid smartphone. The point is that its good for the environment and all the materials can be recycled and used in like radios and tv's. You pay for a clean phone.
TheEthan8or what? dude fair trade isn't just for food. fair trade is a label that can be awarded to any goods so long as it's fair for the workers right at the bottom of the chain, like miners, factory workers and yes farmers too
Hasse Gregers Nielsen
I don't care
This is the reason i bought the Fairphone 2
But, but the price...
ayyy de lmao people here?
Dad: Son do you want a phone
Son: YES PLZ
Dad: Here build it
Son: Wait what?
Bruh 🤣
I dont have money to buy a good phone. So I am planning to build my own from scratch. Apperantly it is more expensive.

Not interested until cpu can be swapped...
and the CPU is up to modern standards, not 3 years behind the time.
DanielRichards644 i7 7700k incoming!
+DanielRichards644 You're not for real right?
I'd settle for specs little bit higher then Samsung s5. and if it has to be quad core then at least min 2.8ghz. rather 3gz. unless it can have octa core than 2.5ghz
o and ram. is ram module. if so. add 1 more gb then yes. my minimum is between s5 and note 5.
Remember Project ARA ?
Nope
They've perfected the idea
Finally we can build phone like build PC, but the project has stopped

True words from @@imacan9191
The Idea behind the Fairphone isn't its modularity. Its about building a phone which is build with conflict free recourses and good working conditions while caring about the environment. Thats also the reason why its modular. So you can recycle each part easily on its own and so you don't have to throw away you whole phone when one part is broken. They want you to keep it longer than a "normal" smartphone. It would be great if you clear this up at least on twitter. This video doesn't do the phone justice...
vanMrMann Thank God! I've been scolling down the commets for 10 minutes to find the most important comment (which is yours)
vanMrMann Thank you.
Thank you! I was kind of disappointed that he didn't even mention this.

It's unusual that Austin is so badly prepared for a phone review that he didn't even go through the effort to find out exactly WHY it's called "Fair"phone.
can u put gtx 1080 ti on it
u wot m8? only that? this thing can handle multiple 6950X and 8 Titan Xs. since it has a 1500 Titanium PSU it handles it all well.
T W E R K B O N E R so does this mean you could run gamecube games on it?
Egg vggc no but you can run PS4 games on it
but can it run minesweeper?
Certainly, as long as the phone is on a flat surface and you stack it carefully.
Can I swap it with i7 8-core, Nvidia GTX 1080, and some SSD?

*SCREEN RESOLUTION IS LITERALLY BETTER THAN AN iPHONE 7*
So is the battery...
Pretty much ANY phone has a better screen than iPhones.
1080p for a flagship phone screen in 2017 is criminal
A bowl of Miso soup I wouldn't say that. There isn't really a need for 1440p and up on such a small screen. Especially since it can kill battery. The quality of the panel matters a lot more
Hamza Aman You are right but they will not understand.
What do you want me to say... Its an iPhone....
*I don't think Austin understands what's the idea behind this phone.* The main idea on this phone was actually to make a *fair produced* and *substainable* phone. That's why it costs so much.
Trumpalumpa Thank you!
Trumpalumpa no one cares though
Trumpalumpa but the price matters for most consumers though. So why wouldn't he care about price?
Why would they make the price higher when the phone wasn't even assembled yet? That doesn't make sense, 'cause DIY smartphone should actually cost less because you're just buying the parts but build your own desired phone by yourself.
@Trumpalumpa Oh yeah, because everytime you gonna make a phone call, you gonna think about this fair production???? Dude, get over it, customer doesn't give a f***, they want functionnality!!!!
How do you ignore the biggest selling point of the phone, the reason it's called Fairphone, the fact that it's not made with conflict minerals or the workers at factories killing themselves like the iPhone assemblers. It's as much about being an ethical phone as a modular one.
Jason RUclips Thank you.
Jason RUclips unfortunately that increases the price of the phone. but i agree Austin should've mentioned such an important point
Because every major company is doing the "conflict-free" thing these days, thats like advertising a car brand xyz has SEAT BELTS as standard features.
DanielRichards644 show me proof of apple doing it
Jason RUclips Look up apple Chinese factory
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS?!?!
Damian H Fairphone has been put for 3 or 4 years now.
fund it for what . clearly it is a stupid idea.
son dang what is a stupid idea?
it is a stupid idea because with all that money , why would you buy that? all current smart phones are way smaller and faster(in that price range) . it is basically look like a raspberry pie computer that can make a phone call.
plus it is really ugly.
take a shot every time he says "fair" or "in theory"
DiE
Now Austin, not to be insulting, but the repeated comparison to flagship smartphones and the fact you never even emphasized on why this thing is called "FAIRphone" in the first place make me think you sort of missed the point of this.
And no, it's point is NOT to be modular alone...
EVERY phone manufacturer that is part of the EICC (which is like ALL the big ones) have the same kinds of programs like the "Conflict Free Minerals" and Fair labor (NO Child Labor and NO 7 days a week work schedules, amongst other aspects)
If this is true, which I don't think, but if, then you can definitely suppose that this has no effect to the working conditions. On a brandnew iPhone 7 you can almost smell the small childrens blood...
Felix Teupke, Apple does NOT employee a child labor force, the majority of there chinese workers are Males age 18-30, there is a video on RUclips of a guy who got employeed at one and he discusses things.
Finkel - Funk The main point of it is to be a phone. The second point is that it's modular. The effect of their plan is that it's good for the environment and for the people. But most people who are getting the phones don't give a shit. I want a competitive phone. I want the best product for the money as for everything else. If a lot of people don't buy this phone then it won't fucking matter and the company goes under then there was no point.
Felix Teupke I think you just blindly follow the media and rumors around the child labor and shit.
"not that expensive"
"break the screen"
"cost a hundred dollars"
That's really cheap
A Nevarific Account I've had my iphones screens replaced with an OEM panel several times for $120 labor included with a reputable warranty on his repair too.
Another HUGE issue is it supports only 3 of the countless lte bands (3,7,20). Also in 2019, there are only replacement pieces and no further models
Thanks great explanation about how to build this phone.
Now you probably would have made the phone ryt ? Did you ?
RIP Project ARA...
This is exactly how Google should have implemented Ara. The phone is likely more expensive as their website says they use conflict free minerals (though I don't believe you can truly ever have up to some level). They could have combined this with stock Nexus software and ran likely THE flagship phone if it was implemented correctly.
Hey google *facepalm*
Clayton Manley that's it! I was thinking that this was already a concept before, thanks for reminding me!
I don't know what happened with Google, they took this awesome concept and made it about being able to hotswap your components and having them fit all over the phone, instead they could have done it more like this, yeah having the ability to select between a range of different components, and it was a bunch of cool ideas they had, but first and foremost it was about making your average phone a lot more easily repairable, I don't have a problem with turning off my phone to change a component..
Medallish Ok. The idea failed because google wanted to make more money. Think about it if you want a better CPU in a smartphone you have to buy an entirely new phone for 800£, with project ARA instead if you want a faster CPU and you're ok with the rest it would've set you up 80-120£

No!!!!!!
Austin, if this phone isn't meant to compete with flagships, why are you comparing it that way?
Smartieboy1998 it's priced in flagship territory
+Nicholas Petrick Oh, yes. Good point!
However he forgets why it's called a fairphone. It's priced as such since the parts are gotten outside of conflict areas and is meant to be ethical, which is more expensive because buying materials in conflict areas is much cheaper.
That one dude who posts stuff, virtually EVERY major phone maker (and most devices these days) is a member of the EICC and part of there thing is the Conflict Free Minerals and most have other programs regarding labor in the factories that make the devices including things like NO Child Labor, abiding by the labor laws of the country the plants are in, no excessive overtime and other things, this company is simply trying to sell you on something that ALL companies are doing now, kinda like those Shell gas station commercials where they talk about the fuel detergents and stuff they "add" to the gas, those fuel detergents are federally mandated to be in ALL gas and has been that way for decades but they advertise it like they are the only ones doing it, educate yourself so you don't fall victim to companies that try to overcharge you because they are being more "green/friendly/organic" or any other line a company tries to sell you to get you to chose them over another based on how they do business.
Smartieboy1998 so it can relate to everyone
he didn't even talked about the fact, that it's environment "friendlyer"
and the workers who assembled the phone got a fair payment.
But yeah specs 'n' stuff...
Laserkid I know but what about the kids that need those jobs.You could very well be killing families with that.Its a double edged sword
The environment friendly thing only becomes relevant if its not in the expense of the consumers.
When a company releases a product thats supposed to be ethical it's still gonna be judged as a product. Tesla understood this with their cars, so they made them better than all of the other cars in their respective categories. Being ethical is great and all but it isn't really a selling point.

So.....Can you remove the headphone jack
Yes, but don't. It'll be like the iPhone 7 (which is actually suprisingly decent other than that. rather use a 3G[S] running iOS 4.1 just because headphone jack , but it works for anything. except for listening to your music. or watching youtube. or using headphones to mute the alarm because you do not feel like unlocking it. or anything else ever made for the headphone jack, like some selfy sticks. ok its dumb lol)
Andre Joseph iPhone is shit now
no headphone jack
John J1101 the iphone 6 had a headphone jack
Still better than my phone
no references to Phoneblocks and Project Ara ? we'll just act like we forgot about those ?
The best thing is not the fact that it's modular but that it uses materials that has been gathered fairly, and it doesn't hurt the environment as much as other phones!!!
What now google...
its basically the watered down version of google's modular phone concept and i like it. its obviously not as good as other phones and probably not many people will buy it but still its a step towards the future and i appreciate fairphone for finally taking this step
have u tried opening up a phone before? i have, the fairphone and a regular are the same to me exept for one part, your less likely to break the fairphones parts and the screen can be removed without breaking the glass.
but srsly the ways phone modules are connected are with pins, that just snap on and off, im under 18 and done that with my phone, granted its busted up a bit but that was from prior water damage.
the ara feels like a better idea with everything being customisable
It looks like an LCD panel too.
As they make more parts, you might be able to, say, swap the 8MP main camera for a 50MP one, or a 120Hz OLED display, or a larger battery.
I would only consider a modular smartphone if parts weren't proprietary. The Fairphone 2 is great if you break something, but do you really think they'll update anything once the Fairphone 3 is announced?
Standardized sockets/form factors would allow true future proofing at a competitive price and open up a world of possibilities to third party developers. You might even see people building their own phones like they do PC's, although sizing would be trickier.
Less than half the people who were begging for a modular phone will buy this.
No one buys it.
thats because people expect MODERN flagship performance at this price point, why would they "upgrade" to a modular phone that is a DOWNGRADE from there current device in terms of specs?
Would totally buy a modular phone for a low entry level price and if there was a huge selection of parts to choose from.
4k screens.
high end cameras.
Faster processor's.
Heart rate monitor.
Ram.
Different sensors.
..si e se la mi nonna aveva le rote era 'n carretto! Arriva lu lì de!
Just buy a cheap android of phablet size, and you can just take parts from broken phones from friends or ordering parts from better phones. Boom fixed your phone.
EDIT:I didn't mean to click the edit button.
The screen itself could never be large enough on a lhone to watch true 4k though you could watch compressed 4k on like 1080 size
lets build smarthpone with core i7 gtx 1080ti ram 32gb
Upgrade the RAM to 3 or 4, upgrade to a 4K recording camera. Is there a sim and SD or dual sim or a combo of the 3, break the screen from 720p to 1080p or 1440, bigger cell battery for extended life. the combinations! Its like a digital Lego set!
juggawest sd 801 only support 3gb ram max.
Modular phones are Apple's worst nightmare.
but what if u upgrade all of the parts, is it still the same phone or a new phone?
Same phone? Sort-of somewhat similar, right?
Really though, probably will be considered by most new, but by some same because BIOS and device-locking.
Sagi Noor
uhm?
is this related to Grandfather Axe Paradox?
Aril, The Random Guy on RUclips yea it is
not if the memory isnt
I love the idea of this phone. BUT im worried how long you will still find parts for this in modular form?
Watching Austin Evans help me get smarter technology wise
I love this idea. Cell phones need to be modular. I have a dream that one day we can build our own smart phones, just as we can build our own computers.
Joshua K I have a dream...
Joshua K you can build your own smart phones the hard part is giving it an os i gave my phone the wrong os now i cant root it.
thing is,pc users are usually more interested in doing stuff like that,candy crush/clash of clan users on the other hand aren't really interested on making their own phones.
Some people like pre-built items much better but considering the fact that the average consumer demands a yearly upgrade over their last flagship changing certain modules of the device to ones beneficiaries can really help. Also the fact that these parts are more eco-friendly it can really help with the environment and recycling.

Austin you fucked up dude, admit it. Pretty much ignored it main selling point - as other comments have pointed out.

This might be the next step to gaming cellphones
Zack Conflict Free you say? I’m pretty sure everything used to make this phones was picked up in some country at war in Africa and then smuggled into some other neighboring African country with no active wars, where it can be sold “legally”. “Conflict Free” is just some shady marketing stunt used by companies to look less exploitative and more “friendly”
Jose Berenguel Noguera The whole point of this phone is basically that it's not.
Jonas Bartkowski And you have to take some company’s word for it. Yep, no shady business going on here
It’s a for-profit society, of course it’s gonna try to do stuff the most cost-effective way. Which in this case means buying prime materials from countries in conflict by smuggling them into allegedly “peaceful countries”. That’s actually a lot cheaper than recycling.
To sum up, I don’t buy into Intel’s “Conflict Free” bullshit, so I don’t believe the guys that made this phone either.
If you can't change the Ram nor the CPU it's useless
amanguver CPU would be a enginering nightmare, i guess ram may be possible
My thoughts exactly, but maybe you can change the core module?
You can replace the core module
EspidiHuevos Phones usually have the ram, CPU, and GPU together on the SOC so definitely not possible. They could easily release bare frames with the SOC on it for people who already have all the other modules, that would work.

Fade Away It's funny that you insult his intelligence, yet it is *you're* not *your*
Different price points and newer prossers and stuff like that would make me buy one.
I would probably buy this if it were available in the US on the Verizon network. I do think having great support and lots of upgrade options would make this a truly killer phone. Adding in water resistance would be a great bonus as well!
The pure fact that you are so oblivious about why this phone is actually made is both laughable and pathetic. Don't you dare overgloss this and label it as just "any other modular smartphone" because it isn't just that. The idea is is that all parts are environment friendly and the resources are conflict free meaning that the workers are being payed good money and work in safe environments. I am truly disheartened that you don't even take into consideration where this phone is coming from and how much of an impact it makes.
The more people that point it out is the more likely that he will realize what he did. Oh and if nobody did care, nobody would have bothered to even note about it. Apparently you care as much to reply so I got at least one person.
I thought other companies were doing this already?

I wanted to review this phone; however, not because of the modularity but because of the ethics behind it
*Austin Evans Vs Unbox Therapy : 10 Years Later*
A modular smartphone is a great idea... I think it would be beneficial to have a motherboard and a shell that come together, then the parts can be labeled based on size ranges so if you have a slimmer motherboard/shell then you know what range will fit... On the site you could then choose what motherboard you want (base price) then add things to the purchase like cameras and other parts, and the shell could even allow other attachments here too. Just makes sense to me.
*takes the front camera out* if theres a version that has a battery conserve software attachment, even better, maybe a solar/crank charger attachment, I'll say yes to it definitely

Austin you got that shirt at Target didn't you lol
Austin, its meant to be more of a fairly made phone hence the name. Not to be able to take it apart. The materials are obtained in "fair" ways and the labor of putting the phone together is avoided. Just my thoughts though

Modular smartphones are only useful if the platform cannot possibly improve (i.e., the frame), which it likely would. This would inevitably mean the modules you bought have reached obsolescence and can no longer be used in favor of a superior, newer line of modules.
The screen still shines over the iPhone 7.
TheBlinkstyKrab thought this was funny, but the iPhone 7 screen is decent. it's probably the one not bad thing about the phone. even though it lacks resolution and the crispness of the s8 screen, it is ridiculously color accurate for an LCD. not the best, but definitely not bad. though I'm only referring to the 1080p plus model. the 750p is a joke
Same, I don't have problems with apple users mostly unless they act like iSheep. I honest have to admit I kinda like the 7plus but the regular model is just embarrassing I mean come on, a 750p display with a super low PPI.
Skeleton 11223 Yeah but you are paying over $700 for a "flagship" you want it to have everything up to date. If you dont need a serious phone get a mid range phone.
Money Bags It is still kind of an exaggeration. What is that resolution useful for? It's an LCD; it doesn't have the diamond matrix that an amoled has, so it is actually quite close to a 1080p amoled in terms of sharpness. Plus, it's just 4.7 inch. 1080p would be mostly for bragging rights. You can't notice the difference at arm's length, just when you look very close. It's also common knowledge that iPhones aren't the type of phones you buy if you want the best raw specs on the planet.
the resolution might be crap but the screen it self is a brilliant panel probably the best LCD panel out there.

Make a video of you upgrading the fairphone with better parts!
for me it dosen't matter if 2014 model the important you can use it and the specifications are awesome
Wait can the ram or CPU be upgraded
Telepathic Diancie 007 no
Yes.
nope
You can upgrade the entire SOC (ram+CPU+GPU)
Maybe?
I've got my Fairphone 2 five days ago. It's a really solid phone and just a charm to use. Everything works and feels snappy. The only thing that is bad is the camera, but I expected that and it doesn't bother me. Still, it would be cool to have an option for an improved camera later. The battery seems to outlive the Nexus 5x from my girlfriend. All in all it's a really competitive phone even without the whole fair and modular aspect. Nevertheless the mindset behind the Fairphone 2 is a huge selling point. Everything in this phone (hardware and software) is as progressive as it can get when it comes to long term thinking. We need a commercial strategy for fairer and more sustainable electronics. Fairphone totally delivered with the second iteration.
Huge Letdowns:
-The Price
-Cheap backcover
-Too big for many people
-Overrated longevity (next snapdragon is out, android M announced, 5G in the working)
-Bad camera/camera chip
Don't they sell a better camera for the phone?
its alright but nothing groundbreaking
no they probably sell a better camera when all the other phones will have 20MP they will upgrade to 13MP.
WTF- What's This Friday If this phone becomes popular then maybe they'll sell better upgrades.
The 5x bootlooped didn't it
The LG g5 is quite modular inside. It uses the same pins for conecting each component and every component can be replaced. Screens are $50 and Qhd the cameras are $12 and 16mp
I wish this was available in the US
He said $100 is not expensive, dude $100 is a Nepalese's monthly salary ..

So basically a PC
Clorox Bleach yeah u r right PORTABLE Computer

Abdullah Alkoud very compact computer!
Clorox Bleach vs tie pods
Multi-aperture camera matrix, this is what would make me buy a modular smartphone.
The screen for the OnePlus 3T is also $100 and it's not much harder to disassemble. The point of Fairphone is to be conflict free, not fully modular. Full modularity is just an added bonus.
I use the fairphone 2. And I had the Fairphone 1 before that (I broke that one). And It does everything I need it to do, even if it hasn't got the most amazing specs you'll see. I do think, that it is a bit on the expensive side though :( Anyway, feel free to ask me questions if you want to know anything about it!
But of course, a big bit of what you are paying is because a large ammount of the materials are sourced from conflict free mines and they have a big emphacies on fair payments for the workers
how about the OS version? is it stuck with one generation or you they update regularly for example at least nougat now?
When I got it, it had Android 5.1, a few moths ago they released a Update to Android 6, so it isn't the newest available version, but there are regular updates for security patches and other fixes
why/how did the fairphone 1 break? that's kind of counter productive of what it is meant to right?
Long story short, I was out of power and thought why not put the battery of my digicam into the back of the phone... I realised to late that it was 7.4 instead of 3.7 Volts, so that's compleatly my fault... No Smartphone is protected against such overvoltage
Who needs to build a PC? Now you can build a phone!
having 10 or more tiers for each part would interest me
If there is PC building simulator then there should be Phone building simulator xD
never trust edited comments!!!!!
Cool but this only works if the continue making new modules. This smells more like a dead product. Just because you can swap modules, doesn't mean you ever will be able to.
Here 2019 there is a new camera module with 12 MP for 45€. It will only work and continue if people support it. It will be my next phone for sure, do you want to give it a try? Having a slim phone is so 2014. In 2019 you need to care for the future. ;)
Usually ads focus on the advantages.But I like the honesty
I just recently switched from a Nexus 6P to a Moto Z2 Force and like they mods. I can keep it slim or stick in a battery or have fun with the projector.
drop test?

I dropped mine many, many times and the screen has no crack.

The Fairphone is built in China, same place as most phones. _'Fair'_ is a loose term.
They thoroughly check their supply chain.
can we change cpu gpu and ram?? or do we have to wait for it???
It's a nice concept I'll give it that, if we get the core specs to be compared to flagship you'll have me. Also it's nice that it's fair to workers and such
