Is the Fairphone5’s Modular Design Still Relevant?
Lately people have been talking a lot online about a new phone called the Fairphone 5. This phone is designed so users can easily fix and customize it themselves by swapping out parts like the camera, battery, or screen.
The Fairphone 5 is modular, meaning its parts can be removed and upgraded. With this phone, you don’t need technical skills to do basic repairs or customizations. Since people seem interested in phones they can customize and fix themselves, I wonder what people think of the Fairphone 5. Is this kind of modular, customisable smartphone still interesting to people today? I’d love to hear opinions on whether you find the idea of this product appealing.
From my opinion, this phone is not relevant at moment as unlike PC that have interchanged parts, this fairphone module only produced by one company and usually take long time to be an “Standard” like an PC.
Also what they offer as upgrade is not very wide, like cannot using latest processor or any new technology right away due the OS not supported yet.
