Fairphone

Fairphone is a Dutch smartphone maker that builds the most repairable and ethical phones on the market. Where Google Pixel and iPhone glue everything shut, a Fairphone comes apart with a standard screwdriver: swap the battery, screen, or camera yourself from spare parts the company keeps selling for years, backed by an industry-leading long support window.

Beyond repairability, Fairphone leads on supply-chain ethics, using fair-trade materials, recycled plastics, and fair-labor manufacturing, with full transparency on where components come from. Buyers who want to leave Google entirely can order models with /e/OS, the deGoogled Android from Murena, preinstalled.

Key features:

• Modular repair with user-replaceable battery, screen, and camera
• Long software support stretching well beyond typical Android lifespans
• Fair-trade materials and recycled plastics with supply-chain transparency
• Spare parts on sale for years, sold directly by the manufacturer
• /e/OS option for a fully deGoogled phone out of the box
• Standard Android with the Play Store on default models

Fairphone is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and operates as a certified B Corp with a social mission written into how it builds hardware. It is the reference European alternative when a phone should last five years, not two.

Ideal for buyers replacing a Pixel or iPhone who want a repairable, ethically built phone from a European company.
