Fairphone 3 brings eco-friendly materials to a modern budget smartphone

Eco-friendly smartphones are a sadly under-represented niche, but there's one smartphone company making sustainable phones, and it's just released its newest device – the Fairphone 3.

The Fairphone 3 is the successor to the Fairphone 2 (obviously) from Dutch start-up Fairphone (equally obvious), that uses sustainably sourced materials, decent factory working conditions for employees and recycled parts, to create modern smartphones.

These are all issues that many other smartphone companies perpetuate, so if you care about the planet (or your fellow humans), Fairphones are worth looking into.

The Fairphone 3 will launch with Android 9 onboard, which is the newest available Google operating system.

It comes with a 12MP rear camera and 8MP front-facing snapper. Those are fairly low-end camera specs, and in general the Fairphone 3 resembles an affordable smartphone.

The Fairphone 3 launch event is ongoing, so new details are coming constantly – we'll update this story with new information when we hear it.
