The industry standard is two to three years but this model will be supported until at least 2031 with upgrades and a long warranty
While most manufacturers release a new model of phone every year and expect consumers to upgrade, one has built a handset designed to last at least eight year. The Fairphone 5, made with 'fair' and recycled materials, comes with eight years software support and a five-year warranty.
Fairphone guarantees at least five operating system upgrades after Android 13, allowing the Fairphone 5 to keep running smoothly and securely until at least 2031 and the company is aiming to be able to support the device until 2033 - longer than the industry average of two to three years. The average phone has a short lifespan of around three years and only 15% of discarded phones are collected for recycling. In an industry first, Fairphone is the first company to use and implement mineral credits with organizations such as the Alliance for Responsible Mining and The Impact Facility with support from the Fair Cobalt Alliance . With this, the company matches its material use with fairer production and supports miners to achieve safer working conditions and maintain high standards.
