The second generation of the Fairphone is modular and comes out in December.

The first Fairphone was released in 2014, and it was produced with the intention to harm the planet and people as little as possible. It was made from materials mined by workers with fair labor standards. Soon, the second version will come out.

Fairphone 2 comes with replaceable parts, so that the user doesn’t need to buy an entirely new phone when one parts malfunctions or goes obsolete. Fairphone does this to countervail planned or built-in obsolescence – an industrial design used by manufacturers to make consumers keep buying products.

The new Fairphone 2 will run on Android Lollipop, use a Snapdragon 801 chip, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. It has a 5 inch Full HD display, a main camera of 8 MP an a front facing camera of 2 MP. The specifications aren’t that impressive, in other words, but that’s not the point of this smartphone.

Fairphone 2 will be shipped in December for the price of €539. The smartphone will be delivered to the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holy See (Vatican City State), Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.
