But they all have a few things in common. Sooner or later, those plans will go up in price, and the goal is to replace your phone often (two years or sooner!). Fairphone\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fairphone.com\/en\/2022\/06\/15\/fairphone-easy-a-smartphone-subscription-for-a-fairer-future\/\">new subscription plan<\/a> bucks both those trends.<\/p>\n<p>Fairphone, which makes a \u201csustainable\u201d smartphone, prides itself on being environmentally friendly. The Fairphone 4 is modular, and you can replace the cameras, the USB-C port, the battery, and even the display. You won\u2019t find glue or other tactics that make repair difficult. Fairphone even uses\u00a0Fairtrade-certified gold, ethically sourced aluminum, tungsten, recycled tin, rare earth minerals, and plastics.<\/p>\n<p>Now Fairphone is bucking tradition with i<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fairphone.com\/en\/2022\/06\/15\/fairphone-easy-a-smartphone-subscription-for-a-fairer-future\/\">ts new subscription plan<\/a>. Like most subscription plans, you pay a small amount up front and then more every month that you use the phone. But most smartphone plans offer upgrades to a new model every year or two, leading to more potential e-waste. Your year-old phone probably had plenty of life left, but now it\u2019s out of your hands to who knows where.<\/p>\n<p>The new Fairphone Easy plans still charge you a small monthly fee,\u00a0\u20ac21.00. But the longer you keep the phone, the more that price decreases. After year one, you get a \u20ac1 discount, followed by\u00a0\u20ac2 in year two and\u00a0\u20ac8 in year three. The subscription plan also includes free repairs for anything other than water damage or abuse, including one free screen replacement a year.<\/p>\n<p>Overall you\u2019ll probably still pay more than buying a Fairphone 4 up front, but that\u2019s true of most subscription plans, and you wouldn\u2019t necessarily get free repairs without the subscription (though the Fairphone 4 does come with a five-year warranty).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Fairphone 4 isn\u2019t available in the U.S. (at least not yet), and as such, the subscription plan is only available in Europe. But the concept is sound, and it will be interesting to see if other companies take note and copy it.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fairphone.com\/en\/2022\/06\/15\/fairphone-easy-a-smartphone-subscription-for-a-fairer-future\/\">Fairphone<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
