You may have never heard of Fairphone, but the Dutch company is trying to make waves across the tech industry with its sustainable approach to materials sourcing, distribution, labor relations, and customer care. We got the chance to try out the Fairphone 3, and we have some thoughts on the device beyond its hardware and software experience.

If you know me or read my work here at AC, you know that I feel strongly about a few things when it comes to smartphones and consumer tech, and those things are not necessarily what some of my colleagues or others in the tech-sphere care about. You can have your 10x optical zoom cameras, folding phones, and 50W wireless charging devices all day, but I m more interested in affordable to mid-range devices that last longer than you d expect and which are at least
trying to do environmental and social good. Sounds great, but it seems that it s harder to find this combination of features in a phone than the ultra-premium specced-out devices we typically talk about here on this website.
