Fairphone is a Dutch company that designs and sells modular, repairable smartphones with an explicit focus on social and environmental responsibility. Founded to reduce the human and environmental cost of electronics, the brand centers product choices on longer use, repairability, and greater transparency about materials and suppliers. Fairphone phones are designed so consumers can replace batteries, camera modules and other parts themselves or through a paid repair service.

The product range is deliberately narrow: Fairphone offers a small number of phone models, plus spare parts, modules and a limited selection of accessories. The company publishes information about sourcing and works on sourcing improvements for conflict minerals, recycled materials and fair labor practices; those efforts are central to its value proposition rather than headline technical specs. Because of this focus, Fairphone trades some high-end hardware benchmarks for better repairability and supply-chain traceability.

Most shopping happens through Fairphone’s online store, where you can buy phones, replacement parts and repair instructions. The site aims to make spare parts and repair guides available to end users, and Fairphone also provides official repair services in some markets. Expect a buying experience that emphasizes long-term ownership: clear parts availability, documentation, and communications about software updates and repairs. The trade-offs are practical — prices sit above mainstream budget phones, and the limited model lineup means fewer choices if you prioritize camera megapixels or raw performance over longevity and ethics.
