World’s first fully modular Android device Fairphone 2 will arrive in December

The makers of the original Fairphone introduced the idea of ethics to their manufacturing process when it came to parts and labor, and now the Fairphone 2 is nearing release, touted as being the first fully modular Android device. With Google's own modular device, dubbed Project Ara, delayed until sometime in 2016, the Fairphone 2 will be the first smartphone with a modular design to hit the market when it debuts in December.

The Fairphone saw some success, and now the company is expanding on their original idea and the start of Fairphone 2 that looks to its owners by giving a completely modular high level of customization freedom.

2.32 gigs of Internal Memory

3. 8MP Rear Facing Camera

4. 5” Full HD LCD display


The Fairphone 2's method of achieving a modular design differs from Project Ara's. Project Ara could be compared to Lego, with components that snap together like blocks, while the Fairphone 2 is more like a traditional PC, with internal parts that can be removed and replaced as needed.

The company's goal is a device that will last for at least five years, with outdated or defective parts being replaced individually when needed, instead of users buying a brand-new phone. Production on the Fairphone 2 is set to begin next month, followed by a December release in a number of European countries.


The Fairphone 2 is only being released in a handful of select European countries for the time being. The company is looking to expand in the future, and they’re also seeking to advance the freedom-of-ownership concept further by having future models come without pre-loaded Google software.


Mass production of the Fairphone 2 will begin next month, and they’re expected to hit the market in December. You can pre-order the device on their website, and over 20,000 devices have already been reserved by those eager to get a fully modular device in their hands.
