Yeah that’s the biggest turnoff for me personally, it sucks how we are always expected to pay a fat premium for something more sustainable. There should be some small government subsidies for phones like these, just like there are on e-bikes and EVs in many countries.

It is not that Fairphones are expensive.

It is that every other phone is made by slave labour, which makes them inexpensive.

Also every other phone is priced at the point of you buying a new device in 3 years anyway because the battery is glued in while the FP should have a far longer lifecycle

Well, if they actually ensure fair wages for as many people in production as possible, that’s just what a phone of this caliber should cost.

Idk, the word price premium sounds more like an arbitrary and baseless increase to me, which this (hopefully) isn’t.

There’s a lot more that needs to happen, obviously. Because 700 bucks is a lot of money for many people either way, fair or not.

Edit:
OLED. I’m sold. Well, whenever my current phone dies, but then I’m sold.
