Fairphone smartphone etico

Whether you ordered your Fairphone last month or just a few days ago, we want to get in touch and give you a quick update on production.

First off, we’d like to remind you that you bought your Fairphone during the pre-order campaign – meaning you paid in advance before production started. By pre-paying for your phone, you’re helping finance production, as well as ongoing initiatives that support our goal of creating a fairer economy. Plus, you’re ensuring that Fairphone can continue to operate as an independent social enterprise.

Mass production starts soon; phone delivery expected to begin mid-July

In the past two weeks, our production partner in China has completed two rounds of Design Validation Testing (DVT). This means that they are assembling smaller batches of a few hundred phones to check for design or material issues before full production begins in July. Read our latest production blog post for more information and a peek at the production facility.

When will your phone arrive?

As of now, mass production is scheduled to start in July, so that first Fairphones will be shipped to customers in mid-July rolling throughout the summer. The earlier you ordered, the earlier you’ll receive your phone. At this moment, unfortunately we can’t give exact delivery dates. However, once Mass Production begins, we will have a blog post outlining details on the latest indication for phone delivery starting from the first phone shipment.

Of course – as soon as your Fairphone arrives in Europe and is delivered, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation email and tracking code.
