So the Fairphone 2 runs on just a USB cable with no battery inside?

I'd like more details. Many devices won't run on USB cable alone: they won't start without a battery as well.

"bypass charging" is what you need to look for. theres a small few devices that have support for it at the moment

Fairphones are designed to be modular and repairable, I'd imagine it's much more robust than the average smartphone.

Yup that's right!
