Sabaidee, Welcome!
This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.
This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

For what it's worth, I've been on the Fairphone 4 since last summer in the USA and Colombia. It's a good phone, by far the most powerful smartphone I've owned, but there is no warranty nor is there a way to get replacement parts Stateside until now.
FWIW The article says $599, but when you click through to the shop $629.90 is the cheapest price I could find.
I do love the idea and will continue to keep an eye on Fairphone for when my current one runs out of security updates in 4 years or so.
