Fairphone

Fairphone is a Dutch electronics manufacturer that specializes in designing and producing smartphones and headphones with a primary focus on minimizing ethical and environmental impact. The company distinguishes itself in the mobile industry by utilizing recycled, fairtrade, and conflict-free materials, while also maintaining fair labor conditions across its entire workforce and supply chain. This commitment to social and environmental responsibility has earned the brand significant recognition, including being dubbed "the most ethical smartphone in the world" by the British magazine Ethical Consumer, which awarded it a score of 98 out of 100 possible points. A defining characteristic of Fairphone’s design language is its emphasis on modularity and repairability, aiming to extend the lifespan of its devices. The company enables users to easily repair their phones by providing replacement parts and designing hardware that allows for straightforward maintenance. This approach has been highly effective, as Fairphone devices have received a perfect 10/10 repair score from iFixit, with the exception of the first-generation True Wireless Earbuds and the original Fairphone 1. As of June 2026, the company’s most recent smartphone is the Fairphone 6, which continues this legacy of high modularity and ease of repair. To further support long-term usability, Fairphone plans to provide seven years of Android OS updates, eight years of security patches, and a five-year warranty for the Fairphone 6.
