Fairphone promotes modularity through repairable smartphones

The concept of repairable smartphones offers an alternative to replacing entire devices due to common issues like cracked screens or worn batteries. Unlike many standard smartphones that use adhesives or require specialized tools, repairable models utilize modular designs to make components more accessible.

Fairphone serves as a primary example with its Fairphone 6 Plus. This device is designed so that users can individually replace parts such as the battery, screen, and camera using available spare parts and instructions. Such modularity, combined with long-term software support, aims to extend the functional lifespan of the hardware.
