The article doesnāt say anything about modularity, but the Lava āmyZā is customizable on order. You can choose the RAM, flash storage, front and back cameras and color of the case.
Iām curious to see if that concept in successful.

Cool concept.
And hereās more of the concept or rather the customisation page:
The choices are not infinite of course.
E.g. you got two choices for the rear camera:
13 + 2 MP
13 + 5 + 2 MP
With the first choice you can chose for the front camera between 8 and 16 MP; with the second choice itās ājustā the 16 MP camera.
Up to 6 GB RAM and up to 128 GB ROM.
And it comes with stock Android 10 (Go, if itā s got just 2 GB RAM).
Dual SIM (both 4G), gorilla 3 glas and 5000 mAh battery.
The top model (13+5+2 MP rear camera, 16 MP front camera, 6 GB RAM, 128 GB ROM) is 10699 Rupies (about 120 Euro).
The cheapest one (13+2 MP rear camera, 8 MP front camera, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM) is 6999 Rupies (about 80 Euro).
NO specail fair or ecological concept of course.
The CSR paper (PDF) is rather full of phrases without a real concept and nothing to be measured or binding.

I donāt agree on everything, and Samung and Appleās situation is different than Fairphoneās, but there are some interesting thoughts in this video about phones delivered without chargers:

Ok, I stopped after 3 min. His reasoning is stupid.
You should watch until the end, there are a few interesting things thereā¦
Ok and what would that be?
The fact Apple removes the charger but adds a cable which is not compatible with their previous ones, for exampleā¦

As I said, I donāt think his arguments work the same with Fairphone. Heās talking about flagships and new trends in general. Fairphone could do what they did because they used standard cables and chargers and didnāt offer fast charging in a new way. As @Antoine writes, one of the problems with Apple is when you donāt give a charger but force most people to buy one since they are not compatible with the previous phones they sold. And in this regard, the arguments about packaging and delivery are quite interesting.
Where the arguments lack some insight, in my opinion, is when he only takes packaging and shipping in consideration, and not plastic waste, as many people already have a working USB charger/cable that would be compatible with most phones.

Wouldnāt it be the best solution for sustainability and the user to make the charger and the headphones optional? You could just tick a box, if you want them or not. Maybe make it cost 1ā¬ each to give an incentive to not take the charger or the headphones if you donāt need them. This way the company would make it clear that they try to save resources and energy and not to make money.
