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.

    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.
