The catch? This is a China release. You get 1 years of standard and 3 years of extended warranty. The global variant would be unlikely to offer this at all.
Fairphone 5 has 5 year warranty. Sure that’s not 4, but the title makes it seem that 4 is longest out there.
The Fairphone 4 also has a possible 5 years of warranty (2 years standard + 3 years complimentary extended).
Introducing brand new world’s first phone with 1 year 2 weeks and 4 hours warranty. And it’s got electrolytes!
I guess an oversight on their part. I thought it was 2 years on fairphone. But, good to know.
I think they’re only including mainstream models.
Still though, now that somebody has done it, there’s a good chance that somebody else will now do it as well.
Is there a Chinese customer protection law influencing this or is this a marketing stunt? Good for them if it’s the former.
Should be the latter. Otherwise, we would also be hearing about this from other brands like xiaomi, realme, oneplus.
So I can just return the phone after 4 years, and get a new one, to have updates for more than 2 years? Nice! Or they could open up the Bootloader again, like my Moto Edge 20 has.
