Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?
Good point. Green washing might be too hard. How about the greener cell phone experience?
Well I appreciate fairphone moving in the direction it is, they are still a venture back startup, which means they need growth in revenue. They’ve chosen to take the green route, which is nice, I wish them the best of success.

One day if they can survive it and they are a good faith actor.
What is their selling point? vis-a-vis graphene and calyx besides, a normie can buy it and use out of the box.

Fair phones do not have grapheneos support
I believe fair phones main selling point is greenwashing the normal cell phone experience.
