Science and Technology Desk: Companies are bringing new models of smartphones every year. The new version adds better hardware and new features. As a result people don't usually use one phone for long anymore. Apart from that, if the regular software and security updates are stopped, the phone is no longer secure.

However, Fairphone has come up with a solution to this problem. This Netherlands-based smartphone manufacturer is guaranteeing their new models for 10 years of safe use.
Fairphone is known for making repairable devices. Now they have brought Fairphone 5 to the market. It is thinner, lighter and more durable than previous models. It is quite ahead of others in terms of usability and repairability.
Its market price is 619 pounds or 771 dollars. That is, it can be said that it is relatively expensive. However, as an additional benefit, there is 10 years of software support.
While such a move is a first in the history of smartphones, it is expected to play an important role in reducing technology waste.
The most significant change in this new device is its screen - this time the display is OLED technology. A 90 Hz screen is used to ensure smooth scrolling. The brightness of the display has been increased enough to be used in all situations. But it needs to gain some speed to adapt to the bright sunlight.
Although it seems durable, its design may seem a bit outdated compared to modern designs. Its water resistance is IP55. That is, it can withstand rain, spray or splash of water. But falling into a swimming pool can be fatal.
Its stereo speaker quality is pretty good. However, if you compare it with iPhone or Samsung, you will be disappointed. The vibration motor is fairly powerful. Vibration during keyboard taps and alerts is not satisfactory. Audio call quality is pretty good. A nano SIM and an e-SIM can be used on two lines simultaneously in the phone.
