Above teamed up with Fairphone to create their most sustainable & modular smartphone yet.
Above Agency is thrilled to have been chosen as Fairphone’s innovation partner for the launch of their Fairphone 4 5G smartphone. The Fairphone 4 is a premium, durable, and more balanced design that both physically and visually better stands the test of time. Moreover, it has scored a 9,3 on the French Repairability Index and has an IP54 rating.
Fairphone CEO, Eva Gouwens
We’re taking a completely different approach to manufacturing smartphones — we’re changing the way devices are designed, made, and used.
Future-proof design
Above designed the Fairphone 4 to last (which also boasts an IP54 Rating). Thanks to the modular construction and spare parts, anyone can make repairs and upgrade their device. Fairphone also introduced a 5-year warranty that ensures that the phones keep running smoothly (and securely) for years to come so that users can use and enjoy them for longer by making key upgrades when needed. Longer-lasting devices aren't just great for user experience – they also help reduce our environmental footprint.
