everton137<p>A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation on my last mobile purchases:</p><p>- Motorola Moto G5s Plus (Jul 2018): ~€193, lasted 4y 4m, ~€3.64/month.<br>- Redmi Note 11s (Nov 2022): ~€208, lasted 2y 4m, ~€7.43/month.<br>- Fairphone 5 (Mar 2025): €639, 256GB storage (2x more).<br>If 5 years: ~€10.65/month.<br>If 8 years: ~€6.55/month.</p><p>Both previous phones had reboot issues. The Fairphone 5 promises easy self-repair, a 5-year warranty, and 8 years of security updates. Additionally, Fairphone prioritizes ethical manufacturing, ensuring no exploited labor is involved. I can also more easily install privacy-oriented alternative OS. The higher initial cost might be justified by longevity, sustainability, and ethical considerations.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fairphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fairphone</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/mobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobile</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>righttorepair</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/DataPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DataPrivacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/labour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>labour</span></a></p>
