Original story from: http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/21802/fairphone-2-revealed-shipping-this-year/
The second smartphone from Fairphone has been introduced and it will begin shipping later this year. Fairphone makes "fairer" phones that are socially responsible since they avoid conflict minerals and source materials from fair trade sources. The Fairphone 2 is meant to last longer than its predecessor.
By improving the design of the Fairphone 2 and making it easy to repair, fewer upgrades should be required. The handset's display, for example, can be replaced in under a minute. A screwdriver is all that's required to repair the phone's receiver, rear camera, and speaker units.
It's not possible to have a super slim phone that's also easy to repair so Fairphone has sacrificed in some ways by making the Fairphone 2 11 millimeters thick.
The phone is also supposed to be much stronger than mainstream smartphones and it will be capable of surviving a 2 meter drop to concrete.
Fairphone has included a Snapdragon 801 processor, 5-inch Full HD display, 8-megapixel camera, 32 GB of storage, microSD, LTE, 2 GB of RAM, and Android 5.1 with the device.
