Fairphone champions long-term support of older phone models with Android 13 update of Fairphone 3(+)

Fairphone, the Dutch social enterprise building a market for ethical smartphones, has announced that the Fairphone models 3 and  3+ will be receiving an update to Android 13. Beta version roll-out has started today, with all users receiving the update by the end of June. The new update will take users of the Fairphone 3 and the Fairphone 3+ from Android 11 directly to Android 13.

This update to Android 13 is an example of Fairphone’s policy of providing software support for its devices for as long as possible. Since support by the device’s chipset vendor has expired, Fairphone 3(+) software is now maintained directly by the Fairphone team who assessed the feasibility of updating the device to Android 13 right away. Fairphone has previously done the same with the recently discontinued Fairphone 2, skipping Android 8 and updating the device to Android 9 instead.

The Fairphone 3 was originally launched in 2019 with Android 9, the upgraded version, Fairphone 3+, followed in 2020. Both models are guaranteed to continue to receive software support until at least August 2024. However, Fairphone aims to support the phones for even longer, until 2026. This is a first for the Android ecosystem. Fairphone wants to push the industry to act more responsibly and maintain phones longer.

Agnes Crepet, Head of Software Longevity at Fairphone, states:

“At Fairphone, we not only care about our new customers, but also about our existing users. By providing Android updates for our older models, we are going against industry norms and want to ensure that owners of the Fairphone 3 can also enjoy using their phones for longer. As we always say, the most sustainable phone is the one you already own!”

The number of 5G ready phones grew by 60% in 2021

The number of 5G ready phones is growing rapidly. According to a MoneyTransfers analysis, they grew from 251 to 401 in 2021. That represented a 60% jump. However in Ireland 5G has been a failure with little uptake despite the premium rates been dropped and as a 5G customer myself I find it a waste of money and hardly have a 5G signal.

Jonathan Merry, MoneyTransfers’ CEO, has shared his thoughts on the findings. He said, “We expect the number of 5G ready phones to grow over the coming months. Companies are either releasing or announcing the production of new models. Besides, the technology behind these devices has improved since their initial release. So it’s no surprise that sales are rising rapidly.”

Why 5G?

The ballooning internet traffic is fuelling the demand for enhanced data transmission capacities. 5G tech betters 4G/LTE data transmission by up to 20 times. It’ll also increase the connection density by 10X that of the current tech.

That’ll support nearly a million connections per square kilometer.

Moreover, the tech eases HD media streaming in overpopulated or poorly covered areas. Again, it’ll facilitate the integrated management of a myriad of devices. Further, it’ll lower battery usage, cost, and battery consumption.

Other areas that’ll benefit from the technology include machine learning and the internet of things. These two have wide applications in our lives. In America alone, 5G tech is expected to impact the economy by nearly $484B.

Who’s leading in 5G adoption?

According to a Viavi solutions study, about 2,000 cities in 72 nations have 5G connectivity. China leads ten other nations with the most 5G ready sites. So you can enjoy the technology in up to 356 cities in the country.

The U.S comes in second with 296 cities, and the Philippines rounds off the top three. Here you can enjoy the technology in 98 of her cities.

Punkt. launches a new colour option for the digital minimalist MP02 mobile phone

Punkt., the Swiss, design-led consumer technology company, launched the MP02 New Generation last winter in black, adding to the original MP02 multi-band capacity for coverage worldwide. Software and hardware changes brought subtle improvements, including a snappier response to user input. Changes to the weight and volume of the packaging have reduced the transportation CO2 footprint by 40%; switching to selling the charging unit separately means less e-waste. A light blue option is now complementing the new generation black MP02.

‘The blue contrasts the formality of the black version with a more relaxed off duty look’, says Jasper Morrison, art director and designer of Punkt. product.

The Punkt. MP02 mobile phone, first launched in 2018, is designed to help ensure our tech works for us, not the other way around. It is a phone to keep, not replace. It does not pester its owner for attention or access to an electricity supply. Privacy is built in from the ground up. And as a voicephone, it shifts emphasis to spoken communication: often more efficient, and always more personal.

Punkt phone and cases

The MP02 can be used as a second phone as a way to get some ‘digital downtime’ – everything else is left behind for a while. Alternatively, many MP02 owners use it as their sole phone and combine it with a mini-tablet as required, via the MP02’s hotspot. Having that larger screen is a major upgrade over any smartphone, and a tablet does not have the same ‘pester power’.

The MP02 offers an alternative to mass-produced, old-tech handsets. It’s not just a thin-as-possible pixel platform; it’s a solid, comfortable piece of equipment that is easy to pick up, feels great in the hand, and is never, ever going to bend. Its sleek elegance is matched by top-quality materials, producing a phone that provides a concrete reminder of why the physical world is the world that matters even before it is switched on.

Following on from the MP02’s success with both reviewers and consumers, Punkt. is releasing a new colour option: Light Blue. Still low-key, but even more calming.

To mark the launch of the light blue colourway Punkt. has also introduced two new phone cases for the MP02 to its range. Both are Swiss-made for Punkt. with responsibly sourced materials. The VICUS phone case is made from genuine Italian vegetable-tanned leather and handmade in Ticino using traditional leather-working techniques. The QWSTION phone case is made in Zurich from Bananatex®, a fabric notable for the fact that it comes from the banana tree. The water-resistant coating is natural wax, and the entire product is plastic-free and biodegradable. Watch out for our review soon.

2021 report – How much value does your phone depreciate every year. Check out who is losing the most value

Just like a new car starts to lose value the second you drive it out of the dealership, phones start to depreciate as soon as you take them out of the box – and some depreciate in value much faster than others.

musicMagpie’s Annual Phone Depreciation Report uses our own trade-in data to compare the values of the most popular phones from Apple, Samsung, Google, OnePlus and Huawei, for three years from the date the device was launched, creating a definitive guide to phone depreciation.

We’ve crunched the numbers to help you reduce the amount of money you lose from depreciation and help you make smarter choices for the environment too.

Of all the 5G phones released, the iPhone 12 Pro, one of Apple’s first 5G-enabled models, managed to retain its value the best in the six months after release, dropping by just 32%. Samsung’s first 5G-enabled phone release, the Samsung 10 5G, lost a higher 55% of its value in the first six months.

The 10 phones which held the most of their value at 12 months are all iPhones – making them the better investment for people who are likely to trade their device back in every year to upgrade.

The iPhone 11 has held onto its value the best, depreciating by 33% in the first 12 months. The iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 8 Plus take the 2nd and 3rd positions, losing 36% and 38% of their value respectively after 12 months.

The OnePlus 7T and the Samsung S7 Edge are the best performing non-Apple phones, losing 50% and 52% of their value in their first 12 months on sale.

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro was the worst performing phone in our 2021 report, losing a huge 87% of its value in the first year. The Huawei P20 and OnePlus 8 were the next worst performing phones, losing 84% and 83% of their value after just 12 months.

Apple’s worst performing model was the iPhone X, which lost 51% of its value 12 months after launch. The Samsung models which depreciated most in the first 12 months were Samsung Flip, which lost a substantial 83% of its value, and the Samsung Fold, which lost 75%.

How to sell old mobile phones online for top cash

If you have an old mobile phone, you might wonder how to sell it if you haven’t done it before. It could also happen a new model has caught your fancy, and you are planning to sell your old handset at the earliest. It makes sense to sell old mobile phones online and get some cash in return, which you can use to fund the new purchase. 

It is true that you cannot expect a lot in return, but you can always expect a decent sum if you have kept your device in good condition. Let’s explore how you can get the maximum cash by selling your old mobile phone.

How does selling of mobile phones work

Selling an old mobile is straightforward. Here are some steps involved in the process.

Researching the best price

When you think of selling old mobile phones, you will have to find a buyer who can offer maximum value. There are several specialist mobile buying companies online form where you can receive a free quote by specifying the condition of your handset. If you are happy with the offer, you can submit your details and address. The buyer would then send you the packaging material in which you will have to ship the handset.

Sending the package

You will receive some important forms that you will have to fill and add to the package. It will contain the details about yourself and the handset. You will then have to ship the package via the post office.

Awaiting the payment

The buying company will inspect the handset after receiving the package. They will tally the condition of the device with what you had advertised. The company will offer you a lower amount in case there are any discrepancies in the condition of the handset. You can reject the offer if you are unhappy with the offer price. The company would then ship the device to you free of cost. It will be business as usual if you are happy with the offer. You can expect the payment within a few days. 

Important considerations before selling the phone

Selling mobile phones is straightforward. Yet, here are a couple of significant things to remember when you get started.

Getting the best price

If you think you have received the best offer, don’t simply stop your pursuit and search for some different sites too. You can get even better rates. The rates offered by various buyers can differ altogether. Significant specs like the inbuilt memory size can affect the sum you get. If you have a 64GB variation of any cell phone, you ought to request more than the one that has 32GB limit. You can likewise search for specialist companies that recycle cell phones and sites that have frequent promotional deals.

Checking the handset

When you sell your mobile phone, it is fundamental to review it thoroughly. It will give you a reasonable thought of how much amount you should request. If your device has damages, you should be clear about it forthright. Concealing anything won’t help as the buyer will, in any case, drop the deal if they come to realize that you had lied about the actual condition of your cell phone.

Resetting the mobile phone

It is crucial to reset the device to prevent your personal information falling into the hands of a stranger. Resetting the information is a basic process whether you are an Android or Apple user. Most companies don’t acknowledge handsets that have data on them. You should back up the information to a safe location before resetting the device. You would then be able to restore the information later in your new handset.

Irish Start up #Fixiy (@fixiy1) Scores 2 dragons from the den. #SelfRepair #DDirl #IrishMobileBiz

The dragons den tv show is now in its 2 episode this season and we have seen some really good ideas and some not so good,this is typical but the dragons know what they want and if they see something interesting they will come on board and invest.

Personally knowing two previous successful entrants who have now a story to tell of their success you can see why people want to come on the show and let people know what they have in mind,entrepreneurs have a unique talent,its shows like this that tells it straight may it be good or bad news at the end it often can crush ones feelings or change their life..

What captured me last night was FIXIY..

Why does it interest me?

Several reasons actually why i think this will be a success story.

Been involved in mobile tech near 20 years now and many years experience at repairs myself this offers a solution to a big problem.

Screen damage is a daily occurrence,often the case the screen is the most expensive part of the phone and in some cases more than the phone itself which would be put down to a non economical repair,same applies to water damage.

Most phones now have delicate housing,the iphone in particular with glass front and back on older models,screens are also tough on most phones now using corning gorilla glass but this is not bulletproof nor unbreakable by any means,in fact its pot luck if the screen breaks when the phone is dropped  from any normal level,ie shirt pocket or at arms length.

Been a multiforum  support member for near ten years i see this complaint on a daily basis as to people complaining about the screen breaking  and having shatter-proof glass,such as corning glass.

If you have no insurance this can be a very costly expense to fix with screen repair costing up to €250 maybe more on some phablets it often leads people to search elsewhere to find a cheaper alternative.Phablets are the in thing now, big screens,bezels getting thinner to give real screen estate,this makes them more prone to breakage.Tablets are the same they are more clunky and more so prone to damage,tablets are growing at a fast rate and we like to have them on our laps at home watching TV etc, im sure many have let them fall from knees etc etc

What happens next?

These people go an attempt self fixes,often the case make it worse,void warranty and so on.

They typical go to you tube and watch tutorials,this is fine if you are technically minded and have some idea as to what your doing,from a personal standpoint ive seen self repairs go terribly wrong and i have had to jump in.

Another thing is getting the parts,people shop on ebay or amazon,amazon been the most reputable in my view would offer a better and safer choice on ebay,there is many sellers there that self non compatible,non genuine or substitute parts which are substantially cheaper than OEMs ,been fair some will work some wont or if they do should you have an issue down the road if it becomes faulty then you run into problems.

Why will FIXIY work?

Well to start from seen the package contents you get all the correct tools,again tools are available on-line some good some not so good again cost is a factor here,fixiy offers an all in one solution,a one stop shop if you will to repair yourself,or they can repair for you.. also i would imagine a quicker turnaround than services offered today.

Going forward this can grow bigger already having impressive figures its showing a trend,i do hope they support all popular phone models as time goes on this is crucial in my opinion.

About FIXIY

 FIXIY has two core services. First – the authorised FIXIY Tech licence program (a bit like a franchise). We train suitable candidates to become the FIXIY Tech for their area. The FIXIY Tech pays an initial Start-up fee and ongoing monthly support fee. The 2nd Core service is the FIXIY Kit. This is a Fix It Yourself Kit for repairing a broken Smartphone, Tablet or Laptop. We supply the customer with the replacement part, professional tools, installation guide and installation support..

Final word.

Thumbs up from me and i wish you the best in the future and well done on securing two dragons.
