Re: Fairphone 3 is now available
#3Excited to see this - I have been a Fairphone 2 user for a few years now and have had a good experience (although I know some haven't). I'm going to hang on to it for a while, but I really hope this turns out well for Fairphone. They're showing that it is possible to do things differently.

#4Modular, repairable phone with fair and traceable raw materials (as far as possible). The companybis a Dutch social enterprise and constantly creative, innovative and progressing further. Really happy they have been profitable as well and had s successful investment round last year.
I followed this project from Fairphone 1 and they really have made impressive progress. FP3 looks great in specs and is with €450 priced a bit better than the previous one.

#5I wonder, it's not quite clear whether Fairphone 2 parts are interchangeable with Fairphone 3, anyone know?
I really appreciate that it doesn't come with a charger but does come with a screwdriver. Their priorities are in the right place!
I've been an iPhone user since 2007 but finally decided that repairability is not just not just a factor, it is the most important factor in new technology purchases going forward.

#6I bought a Fairphone 2 more than two years ago and I'm happy with it. Why would I want to switch to Fairphone 3? Has anyone seen a comparison of the two?

I forget, did Fairphone 2 ship w/ Android or a AOSP variant without Google Play Services?
It's no longer available for purchase, so I imagine these models are targeted at new customers as well as previous gen customers.

#8The specs are very competitively up-to-date.
Had to scroll around to notice the Google Maps/Play Store icons to figure if it was de-Googlified or not.
If I wasn't so attached to the audio DAC/amp on my LG G8 I could easily use this device.

As far I have understand, it will be degooglisable soon.

They offer both but Android is default. I switched to AOSP. Biggest (and perhaps only) downside for me is that location services not rely on GPS exclusively which drains the battery.
