Introduction
“All good things come in threes” —that’s what the Dutch social enterprise must have thought when they were planning the Fairphone 3, the next iteration of their fairly produced mobile device sporting a modular and repairable design. The [guide|52523|Fairphone 2] from 2015 already did present a big leap towards better smartphone repairability: Lets see if the successor can maintain the level of ambition and continues to offer an alternative to mobile devices by big manufacturers that are glued shut and increasingly hard to repair. (Disclaimer: This teardown was performed on a pre-final specimen provided by Fairphone.)
