This is an Android phone that can be easily disassembled by yourself
Standard phones were a promise that did not appear to be happening on a large scale. Google had long tried to launch a modular smartphone through its ATAP division, however, they ended up scrapping the project and betting on the traditional model that was basically making companies millions of dollars in sales. Year after year.

However, modular phones are already in place, and we can say that at this time there is at least one standard Android device with a promising future in the market, which will not become one of the best sales, but it shows that this is an unparalleled part for others.
Fairphone strived to be the most environmentally friendly brand in the sector, which is why they use large amounts of recycled materials, as well as have the potential to own a standard phone.
The Fairphone 3+ is an improved version of the Fairphone 3, it includes better cameras, but it keeps the same design as the previous version, which will allow us to do great things with the Firephone 3, but we'll talk about that later.
The company's new phone improves on its promise of being more green, as it now uses 40% of recycled plastic to create the device, and as we mentioned, the rear camera now ranges from 12 to 48 megapixels, while the front camera is now 16 megapixels.
Inside we will find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage that can be increased with a microSD memory.
The phone arrives with a 3000mAh battery and also with Android 10, and the Firephone 3 update to the latest Android version has been announced next month.
Its price will be 469 euros, however, owners of Firephone 3 can make many improvements to this new model without spending 469 euros.
The company revealed good news to its customers, which is that owners of Fairphone 3 will be able to obtain several pieces of Fairphone 3+ to update their devices. At the moment, the only parts of the Fairphone 3+ that can be purchased to install it on your Fairphone 3 are the back camera, front camera and recycled plastic back cover.
Users who want to update their device hardware will only have to unlock the device, remove the modules from the cameras, and install the new hardware.
At the moment, the concept of a modular smartphone is still in its early stages, but we hope that Fairphone will continue its idea and allow later to release models that we can also update with more interesting parts such as processor and RAM, something that will undoubtedly allow users to save money. Lots of money every now and then to spend on a few parts instead of buying an entire phone.
The Fairphone 3+ will likely also have the option to upgrade some of its parts later on the introduction of the company's new model.
