Fairphone we know, it is a brand different from the others, it makes of sustainability its strength and differentiation from the competition by proposing alternative solutions not so much in the functions offered, but rather in the attention to the entire life cycle of the product that goes beyond the production and use phases alone.
So it happens that Fairphone 3 is revived in New Life Edition: is the version reconditioned of the model released in August 2019, which is given new life placing it on the market for a second time: “nothing new (nor polluted) has been done to carry this smartphone in your pocket“says the Dutch company. “So buying a refurbished Fairphone is probably the greenest choice you can make“. With a final tip:”shh, don’t tell Fairphone 4“.
The smartphone had left the scene in September last year, but the support has never stopped. Now it becomes available again under one new look and limited edition (understandably) with all its peculiarities, from the 3.5mm jack to the 12MP camera, up to the Android 11 operating system.
Before reviewing the technical characteristics, let’s see the price: Fairphone 3 cost 450 euros at launch, the New Life Edition is offered to 359 euros. Alternatively, remember that it is also possible to rent a Fairphone smartphone (the 4 5G version specifically): the Easy plan costs between 21 and 34 euros per month depending on the duration of the subscription. At the end of the period the smartphone must be returned: who knows if we will soon also have a Fairphone 4 5G New Life Edition.
