I was already sold on getting a Fairphone when my current device carks it, but it is so nice that they contribute to climate causes without claiming that doing so undoes or cancels out their own emissions :) shop.fairphone.com/fairphone-5

Climate conscious and the Fairphone 5
Climate conscious is an approach to avoiding and reducing carbon emissions by designing products that last, working with our suppliers to reduce our products' footprint and reinvesting in the planet and projects that put people first. How do we do this?
BY DESIGNING TO LAST
Let's face it, the production of a new phone emits a lot of CO2. Which is why we build all our devices - including your Fairphone 5 - to last. Designing for longevity means making a device that's both modular and well- supported. With a long 5-year hardware warranty and an even longer 8-year software support, it's easier to hold onto your phone for longer. To get better every time, we're assessing emissions and other environmental impacts of our products in publicly available life cycle assessments. You can find all finished assessments here.
BY WORKING WITH OUR SUPPLIERS
We've partnered with our final assembly and battery manufacturers to implement renewable energy for the prod

Writing this on a FP5. I look forward to using it for the next 5 years. Every previous android phone has eventually succumbed to terrible battery health or an unusable charge port, both of which are user replaceable. It's not a perfect phone but it's no worse to use than a generic midrange.

It certainly seems key to get a device that will have a long period of software support. I've managed to keep a MacBook Pro from 2011 going, but now reaching the stage that the software just wont update (and so browsers/websites/apps impacted), and I'm not tech savvy enough to get around it.

Thanks for this. I hadn't heard of this phone before. Doesn't look like it's available here though (yet?).

A bit suspect to claim burning of waste methane is zero emissions, or worse reported here as "negative" emissions (!!) - but still, only a small proportion of most of their GHGs, which relates to manufacturing, transport etc www.fairphone.com/wp-content/u...
