Fairphone is a Dutch smartphone brand built around modularity, letting owners replace the battery, screen, camera, and other components with basic tools rather than sending the device in for service.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Redditors in r/BuyItForLife's right-to-repair discussion highlight Fairphone for letting owners swap batteries and other parts themselves, extending the phone's usable life.
