Consumers are better educated every single day not, and with each passing generation, you can be sure that the consumer is a whole lot more sophisticated and puts in thought into every single purchase. Is it good for my health? Is it good for the environment? Has anyone been exploited in the manufacturing process of the particular product? Are animals being tested upon during the product testing process? These are all fairly legit questions, and if you are the type who would like to sleep peacefully each night, then your next smartphone purchase might be the Fairphone 2.
The Fairphone 2 has already begun to ship in Europe, and this is certainly not a sudden announcement, as the Fairphone 2 was unveiled in June earlier this year. the Fairphone 2 boasts of a modular design, where the majority of its components happen to be sourced from conflict-free mines, and hence, it has begun to ship to those who placed an order earlier on across Europe.
A company post stated, “It’s been almost two years in the making, and some of the earliest buyers have been patiently waiting since July to receive their new phones. As community manager, I want to personally welcome the new batch of Fairphone owners to our community.” The initial 1,000 units of the Fairphone 2 are tipped to ship this month, before the remaining pre-orders ship in January next year.
