T-Mobile has launched the first sustainably produced smartphone in the world, the Fairphone 2 in Austria after Swisscom launched the same model less than a month ago. Being the first operator in Austria to partner the Dutch-based smartphone maker, T-Mobile will hence be offering the Fairphone 2 to all its new and existing customers.
The Dutch start-up hopes to stir up the mobile sector with its smartphone, which it says is manufactured in accordance with fair trade principles - ethical extraction of raw materials, socially responsible production conditions and longevity of the product.
Fairphone has invested in a complete new design for its newest smartphone. The company claims that the new Android smartphone with a 5-Inch full LCD HD screen can be disassembled in a matter of seconds into its individual components.
The Fairphone not only can be used longer, but also in the case of damage, can be repaired by the user himself through the replacement of individual components in a quickly and easy way, said Fairphone.
Andreas Bierwirth, CEO, T-Mobile Austria
We are very proud to be one of the first mobile operators in the world to have the Fairphone 2 in our portfolio and to support the movement behind Fairphone.
