Previous generation used aluminium frame
Methodology v1.0
1 change(s): 1 moderate | Durability: Mid-range score reflects 8-year software support commitment and repairability focus, but recycled composite frame is less durable than previous aluminium. Material Quality: Recycled composite is lower-tier than aluminium but intentional sustainability choice; some early software bugs reported. Brand Reputation: Fairphone demonstrates strong consumer-friendly values (repairability, ethical manufacturing, long support windows, deGoogled OS options), but execution shows some rough edges in early software releases.
