This may not be comparable on specs with other phones of similar price but this is not what you are buying it for! It's not all about the specs. Its about the sustainabiltiy. You are paying for a Five-year warranty and extended support till 2028. You are paying for repairability. You can buy an alternative phone for the same price with better specs, but when you drop it and smash the screen in a years time you'll likely end up paying the same amount again for a replacement. You are also paying for fair wages for the people who make your phone, and the people that supply the materials from more sustainable sources.
All of that is worth more than the ability to open a webpage 0.05s faster.
This won't attract the people who want a flagship phone every year, but its great for anyone who worries at least a little about the damage electronics manufacturing is doing. Plus its a brilliant phone for your kids, or parents or anyone who may have a tendancy to constantly be braking their them and needing a new one every year. A phone if looked after should be able to last several years. I'm currently using a laptop that is 10 years old that works perfectly fine having had a couple of parts replaced, why can't i have a phone like that!? So that s what the fairPhone is, and I think a lot of people that just chase the specs/cost propsition don't seem to get that.
