Fairphone, the company behind the first 'ethically sourced
smartphone' unveiled back in 2013, is back with its new smartphone
dubbed Fairphone 2. The new offering from the company is also said to be
the 'first modular smartphone', something Google has been working on for years
now with Project Ara. Google however back in August delayed the announced
launch of its much-anticipated Project Ara modular smartphones until 2016.
Priced at EUR 529.38
(approximately Rs. 38,000), the Fairphone 2 will
begin shipping December. Olivier Hebert, Chief Technology Officer,
Fairphone, boasts that the company built its second smartphone as "a
robust phone that's designed to last." The company also stressed on the
modular construction for "easy dis/assembly" of the Fairphone 2. The
company very specifically points out that the handset has been designed for use
and service in Europe only.
