The Fairphone 2 has already begun to ship in Europe, and this is certainly not a sudden announcement, as the Fairphone 2 was unveiled in June earlier this year. the Fairphone 2 boasts of a modular design, where the majority of its components happen to be sourced from conflict-free mines, and hence, it has begun to ship to those who placed an order earlier on across Europe.
A company post stated, “It’s been almost two years in the making, and some of the earliest buyers have been patiently waiting since July to receive their new phones. As community manager, I want to personally welcome the new batch of Fairphone owners to our community.” The initial 1,000 units of the Fairphone 2 are tipped to ship this month, before the remaining pre-orders ship in January next year.
