One of the main selling points of these "fair" phones is that they are supposed to last longer than "unfair" phones. Seeing how as the main driver to get another phone for me has been the discontinuation of support by third parties like the Swedish BankID app - which first forced me to get another phone when they discontinued support for Android 4.4 and now is about to do the same when they insist on the device having NFC - and given that I actually still use all Android devices I ever had - the oldest are getting close to 13 years now - I do not consider this "fair" phone any more "fair" than those I have in use. I only get devices which can run AOSP-derived distributions so software longevity is more or less guaranteed (within the limits of the hardware, e.g. the 512 MB single core Motorola Defy won't run anything beyond 4.4), I repair what is broken (...which tend to be my wife and children's devices even though I use the things on the farm and in the woods, go figure...) and have yet to throw away a single phone. This, to me, is fair enough. I'm also quite fed up with the '...for a better planet' greenwash-posturing by any and all commercial actors so there's that as well.
