[FAIRPHONE 6 REVIEW]

MrMobile very much relies on people (like me!) who are interested in the constant release of new technology โ€“ so Iโ€™ve always thought it would be hypocritical of me to focus on ease of repair, or sustainability.

But when a product combines those aspirational qualities with new thinking about how we should be using our technology โ€ฆ well thatโ€™s something I canโ€™t help but try out.

This is the Fairphone 6: a mobile device from the Amsterdam-based company of the same name thatโ€™s modular, repairable, and made to be mindful. In other words: the opposite of pretty much every other smartphone.

[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S FAIRPHONE 6 REVIEW]

This video was produced following one week with a Fairphone 6 review sample provided by Fairphone and tested on T-Mobile in NYC.

MrMobile does not offer manufacturers the opportunity to preview, edit or approve content before publication. Neither Fairphone nor any other manufacturer provided compensation in exchange for this coverage.
