Nowadays, it is almost impossible to climb up the corporate ladder in many businesses without the constant presence on your smartphone. Also when it comes to maintaining contacts, smartphones prove to be indispensable helpers.
In light of shocking scandals which are closely linked to the production of Apple products and the disastrous working conditions at Apple’s manufacturing plants and pollution, one would think twice before buying a new smartphone. Child labor, suicidal factory workers, who take their own lives on the factory premises, and the disposal of toxic substances in rivers. Better opt for Samsung Galaxy? Unfortunately, it is the hard truth that the other smartphone manufacturers are also involved in the violation of human rights and environmental pollution in a bid to keep production costs as low as possible, even when their behaviors are not brought to light as much as Apple’s.
Those who wish to act morally when buying a smartphone should consider the Fairphone. The young start-up company from the Netherlands focuses on fair treatment of factory workers connected with fair wages. Moreover, the origin and thus the acquisition and the processing of all materials used are monitored for the sake of the environment.
If you think a fair smartphone has only to do with bamboo boxes or a can with a string, you’ll be surprised.
This is what Fairphone offers:
- a modern design
- 5-inch Full HD LCD display
- Android ™ 5.1 Lollipop
- Dual SIM
- 4G LTE, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
- Qualcomm® Quad Core processor
At € 525, the Fairphone is also more affordable than a new iPhone model. Ultimately, it is hardly disputable that it is the brand that makes iPhone users get new iPhone models from Apple over and over again. If you can give up this attitude and want to enjoy the wonderful world of technology entirely and without remorse, Fairphone will do anything but disappoint you. Become an ethical consumer!
