About Fairphone
In today’s world of use and throw philosophy, a unique product that aims to create a positive social and environmental impact is, surprisingly, a phone. Fairphone is a mobile phone company that wants to usher in change in the community so that a demand for fair products is created. They fashion their phones so that they are both long lasting, and easy to repair, such that there is a marked reduction in the semi- disposable products when the phone stops working. Reputed to be the world’s first modular phone built with long life and repair capability in mind, Fairphone has every component– from screen to battery and audio jack, easily available in stores, so that the current trend of replacing a phone once in two years is stopped, thus reducing the negative impact on the environment.
Fairphone has deconstructed the regular mobile phone and made it modular so if a problem raises its head, only that part which is affected need be repaired or replaced and not the whole phone, as is current trend. They also take responsible production to a whole new level and make sure that they source raw material from places that are good for people and the planet, shortening the supply chain and ensuring that no child labor was used in its production. They also provide a number of recycling options for all the parts of the phone, so that valuable parts may be reused again.
The fact that it is built to be long lasting does not in any way make it an outdated technology. Fairphone uses an Android operating system, has a removable battery, and two SIM Operating system for dual use. It has an LCD display with a Gorilla Glass protection and a 12 MP CMOS sensor main camera with dual flash for picture perfect clicks and a 5MP CMOS sensor front camera too. It has a built in rear facing speaker with a headset jack for clear audio. Fairphone pieces have sturdy buttons for power, volume and camera with a USB port and 3.8 V battery. The phone is 144.5 mm long and 74.5 mm wide. All in all, a sleek and good looking phone, which also cares for the environment.
