Why are they including the samsung galaxy book, which is a laptop but not samsung phones, in a mobile phone comparison?

I find it difficult to believe every chinese phone maker is evading taxes. It's also questionable how they manged to give an employee owned company, Huawei, a 0 for company ethos.

Being employee owned doesn't magically make you a good company

Info on categories. looks like they're not even taking into account repairability in climate. I'd guess that's why apple is scored highly.

Can some investor pour 100 million or something into fairphone so the phones actually become good?

I bought one a couple of years ago, still use it. It's not that bad, just don't expect any crazy fluff. It's the compromise one makes for a sustainable future. Cheaper than most flagships.

I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.

It takes a lot of work and time to build smartphones.

The Pixel and the iPhone weren’t built overnight.

If it's your average investor, they'll want a return, which will make fair phone stop being ethical.

Isn’t fair phone a for profit company? If it is, doesn’t change much.

If it is a non-profit, then that’s even better, lets get some philanthropist on it.
