The Fairphone 2 is available for pre-order starting today, agressively priced at ?529 compared to "rival" iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 models. The Fairphone 2 comes with Android 5.1, a Snapdragon 801 chip, 5-inch Gorilla Glass screen and an 8MP camera. It also offers dual SIM slots and 4G LTE capability. Fairphone says their latest phone intends to increase longevity and repairability. Owners can replace or upgrade the chip, screen, camera and battery by snapping new parts into place.

Amsterdam-based Fairphone was named Fastest Growing Startup in Europe by European Tech5' in April 2015.

Just like with the earlier phones, you can pre-order the Fairphone 2 before production starts. To order the necessary components to assemble the first phones and to generate the income required to ensure continuous production, the company has set a lofty goal to sell 15,000 phones by the end of September.
