The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years (www.theverge.com)

Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

Yeah, but I'm not convinced by their approach anymore as a sustainable solution. Luckily the phone feature race has mostly come to a halt, so there is a chance now for free OS options to come up (which is what we're seeing at the moment).

The part about tracking where the material comes from us good in principle, but mostly as a proof of concept so regulators can increase pressure on big manufacturers (if Fairphone can do it, apple/Samsung should also be able to). But regulators don't regulate, unfortunately
