The Fairphone 5 at the IFA in Berlin.
This column called for updates between five and ten years old. The Dutch Fairphone does it! Unveiled on the sidelines of IFA 2023 in Berlin, the Fairphone 5 comes with a five-year warranty and eight years of updates until at least 2031, according to the manufacturer!
The Fairphone 5 is equipped with a Qualcomm chip that allows the device to enjoy eight years of software support. This means that this flagship 5 will receive at least five OS updates following Android 13, keeping the device running smoothly and securely until at least 2031. However, Fairphone is aiming for 2033, ten years of life!
This software support duration is significantly longer than that offered by other Android vendors, allowing users to keep their phone for twice as long and reduce environmental impact and usage by up to 50%. resources compared to a conventional smartphone, according to a cpress release.
“Fair trade” and recycled materials
According to him, Fairphone also strives to integrate materials into the manufacture of its devices. With its latest flagship, 70% of the 14 targeted materials used in the device come from recycled or “fair trade” mined sources. These materials include tungsten, lithium (IRMA audit) and Fairtrade gold integrated into the supply chain.
Additionally, Fairphone would be the first company to use and implement mineral credits with organizations such as the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM) and The Impact Facility (TIF), with support from the Fair Cobalt Alliance (FCA) . Through this initiative, the company links its use of materials to fairer production and supports miners to enjoy safer working conditions and maintain high standards.
A correct technical sheet
This Fairphone 5 has 8 GB of RAM and an internal storage space of 256 GB expandable up to 2 TB. The device has a high-end 50 megapixel Sony triple camera system. The OLED screen of the Fairphone 5 benefits from a refresh rate of 90hz,
Its 4200 mAh battery is not only replaceable, it combines fast charging with all-day battery life for user convenience, as well as an Eco Charge mode to extend its life. It should retain its capacity for more than 1000 complete cycles.
On the processor side, this Fairphone 5 is powered by a 5G-compatible Qualcomm QCM6490 chip and support for Wi-Fi 6E. This chipset is designed for industrial-grade hardware or devices with a longer lifespan and helps Fairphone provide software support for longer than usual (2028).
More duration in time
The Fairphone 5 shows how a small business can bring regarding change in the smartphone industry. With a focus on sustainability and worker well-being, Fairphone is showing that it is possible today to create cutting-edge technology products while upholding the company’s core values.
However, it is important to recognize that sustainability is a bit too malleable a concept. Companies must continue to innovate and push boundaries to reduce their environmental impact and improve working conditions across the supply chain. The Fairphone 5 is a step in the right direction, however.
