What makes it 'modular'?
the case is custom by lego
nah for real tho the battery is replaceable - not relying on adhesive. that and other parts are replaceable modular components.
I mean, every phone can be called modular if 'made from multiple parts' is the definition, in article they only mention non-glued battery.
Just being able to open it up without unglueing the display is a big win. Before my FP3 I had a Nokia 6 or 7. It had a broken USB-C connector. A 5 β¬ part to exchange. But the screen also had a tiny tear. Because of that changing the 5 β¬ part cost about as much as a new phone because they'd have to also change the glued on display to get to the part.
True.
I don't think they use adhesives for the display either, something making many apple products' screens unrepairable.
They don't use adhesive anywhere in the phone, as I understand. It is made up of 12 separate modules that can be swapped in and out without the need for a heat gun/mat.
ggggrrrreeat :D
I so want one. I hope to make my next phone a fairphone even though it's not an option for me yet (US). I really love their work.
AFAIK, Murena(.com) sells Fairphones with their custom ROM in the US, but they may be a bit more expensive.
TY!
You can also buy through Vireo, they ship globally.
TY!
edit: wasn't able to find it on their devices pages.... :|
