Just received this teaser from the Fairphone newsletter a few minutes ago. A few obvious hints:
-
it could be the Fairphone 5, but they’re also talking about expanding their product range, so it’s possible that it’s not even a phone and maybe is a tablet or a smartwatch instead;
-
the new device weighs 212 grams. The Fairphone 4 weighs 225 grams, so it could actually be the Fairphone 5!
What do you think it will be? Let the guessing games begin 😁
Hello,
The countdown has begun at Fairphone HQ and we couldn’t be more excited. Our range of Fairphone products is officially expanding very, very soon and we want to scream about it from the rooftops.
Obviously, we don’t want to give away everything. But we did want to give you a little peek at what you can expect. So here goes. Here are three things about our latest device we’re revealing for the first time ever!
1- Made with fair materials
Our new design is made with more than 70% fair and recycled focus materials. We are breaking new ground for the electronics industry and we’re doing it responsibly.
2- Under fair working conditions
We are now actively supporting over 2000 people at external factories with a living wage bonus. This helps us close the gap between minimum wage and a decent salary.
3- And is 100% e-waste neutral
Our newest product adds zero e-waste to the world. For every unit we make, we recycle 212 grams of electronic waste. That’s how much our latest device weighs.
This is just the tip of the sustainable iceberg that’s going to change the electronics industry forever. If you want to get the full download, make sure you’re watching the official launch LIVE on August 30, 2023 on our website.
Excited to see their upcoming phones and headphone jack options.
Yes please, let it have a headphone jack
It is two years, and with the exception of the Fairphone 2 to the Fairphone 3, everything else had a gap of two years. So good chance it’s the Fairphone 5.
Dope! I’m looking forward to it
I would absolutely love a smaller phone. If its about pixel 3 sized or smaller, it’s my next phone for sure.
I just hope it is the fp4+ and that soms parts like the camera and the display can be used to upgrade my fp4.
Yeah, its either a phone or a small tablet. A 212g watch would be way heavy and earbuds are nowhere near that. Maybe bluetooth over ear headphones, but my bet is on a new phone.
If they add wireless charging I’m sold. I’m willing to give up a lot of other stuff but I really want an SD card slot and wireless charging.
