600 euros? That’s like 700 USD
Remind me again, wasn’t like 80q of the American population on the verge of poverty and homelessness if a 500 USD emergency happened?
Who’s benefiting from this?

They are hardly even in the US market. Only via Murena with their e/OS/.

Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.

Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.
