Fairphone 3 Plus review: sustainability comes with compromises - The Verge

If you are someone who wants a more ethical and sustainable alternative to a budget £200 device, then the Fairphone 3 Plus delivers. It’ll serve your needs in the same way as a budget smartphone will in 2020 but at a price premium that reflects its ethically sourced materials and repairability.

It’s fascinating to see a phone where you can buy spare parts straight form the phone maker’s website.
