The €450 Fairphone 3 is probably the greenest phone you can buy
Fairphone, the company that values ethical smartphone manufacturing practices, has announced its latest device.
The Fairphone 3 is the firm’s first phone since 2016, but is also built using recycled material and ethically-sourced precious metals wherever possible.
Fairphone also believes that phones should be wholly repairable, which means the 3 sports a removable battery (at 3000mAh), and a piece-by-piece plastic design. There’s no glass sandwiches anywhere in sight.

You’re getting fat bezels top and bottom sandwiched by a 5.7-inch display, with a single rear camera (12MP) and front camera (8MP).
Internally, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with a card reader also features. A rear fingerprint scanner, headphone jack, and Android 9.0 Pie also features.
The Fairphone 3 will be available in Europe from 3 September for €450 (or just under R7700).
