1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
All right. What are we looking at today, Taran? >> Still the Fair Phone. And in conclusion,

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:11,360
you may want to buy this one or you may not. >> In my review a year and a half ago, I

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:14,160
described the Fair Phone 5 as a fair

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:18,400
phone. Not a great phone, but a fair phone. The co-founder took that

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,320
personally, issuing a response that came right out of the Lionus Sebastian

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,599
textbook for How to Handle Criticism. >> Thank you, Lionus. They fired me. With

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,480
that said, there are some fair points

8
00:00:27,599 --> 00:00:34,399
that he made about his phone and some fair points that he acknowledged that I

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:40,559
made. And I'm hoping that the Fairphone 6 is going to find a middle ground

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,120
between well, the sustainability, not to

11
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:48,719
mention ethical production as well as longevity that they're promising and the

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:55,280
day-to-day usability that I'm asking for. Ooh, it includes a cute little iix

13
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:57,760
it screwdriver with inhandle bit

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,320
storage. Uh, did it only come with the one bit? That, yeah, makes sense. I

15
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:06,080
mean, if it's the only one you need, it's the only one you need, baby. Kind of spins almost as good as the top of

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,080
the LT precision screwdriver from ltstore.com.

17
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:21,040
It does make their point really well that a major focus of the Fairphone 6

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:26,159
and in fact of every Fairphone is on repairability and sustainability

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,439
allowing any of the 12 major components that can be replaced in this phone can

20
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,159
be done with just one screwdriver bit.

21
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:41,360
Super cool. Ooh, you know what else is cool? Modular interfaces.

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,520
this little siliconey style card holder.

23
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Little something like that. And also this finger loop.

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Very cool. Hey, look. Braille on the packaging. You like to see it? Or well,

25
00:01:52,720 --> 00:02:01,040
feel it. I'm not fluent in French, but is cordon de telephone really the French

26
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:03,200
term for a lanyard? And like, wow, what

27
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:09,360
is this thing? It's really big. Fashion statement maybe

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,720
or uh some other kind of statement.

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Lennis, don't piss us off. Or else

30
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:21,040
there's also a protective case. Yep, that's a phone case. And as always, that

31
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:25,680
word fair is at the center of their entire design and production philosophy.

32
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:31,760
They claim that over 50% of the materials in the Fairphone 6 are fair or

33
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,640
recycled, that they are 100% e-waste neutral, and is built using green

34
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:42,080
energy. It includes a SIM removal tool, and if you're not a reviewer, that's

35
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,840
about all you get in the box. Now, we

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,400
just have to figure out if it's a phone that anybody would want to use. Right

37
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,040
out of the gate, I like what they've done with the ID. It's clean, and that's

38
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:58,800
good because you're going to be using this thing for a flipping long time.

39
00:02:55,920 --> 00:03:05,200
Fairphone promises 8 years of software updates for security and seven major

40
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,959
Android iterations, which I suspect is

41
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,879
somewhat at the mercy of Google. Like, if Google were to switch to a once every

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:15,840
3ear cadence or something like that, I'm sure Fairone's not going to support this

43
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,440
thing for 21 years. We've got a SIM tray

44
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,200
at the bottom that contains a pretty cool surprise. One moment.

45
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Look at that. See a SIM tray. And then

46
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:34,480
on the other side, where there's room in basically every phone these days, they

47
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:36,560
just choose not to put it in. Micro SD.

48
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,879
That's right, my friends. Instead of having costly storage upgrades, the

49
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,720
Fairphone comes with 256 gigs of storage. And then you can put whatever

50
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:50,000
size micro SD card you want up to like 2 terb. I think these days they go up to.

51
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:56,239
On the bottom, we have a USB 2 type-C port as well as our speaker

52
00:03:53,680 --> 00:04:00,239
port and a mic port. Over on the right, we get the power button, which has a

53
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:06,480
built-in fingerprint sensor. You love to see it. As well as the Lime button. Oh,

54
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,159
okay. So, it's a slider. We'll have to have a look at that a little bit later.

55
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,319
Noise cancelling mic on the top and volume rocker over on the other side.

56
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:19,040
Oh, actually, ooh, I like the way they've done this. Normally, I'm not

57
00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:21,919
that into the opposed lock button and volume button. It's nice when you're

58
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,680
trying to hit a shortcut like uh you know trying to take a screenshot or something like that, but it's not that

59
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:33,360
great when you're going to adjust your volume, you accidentally mash your lock button. But by having this flush, not

60
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:35,199
recessed, but flush, it's pretty easy to

61
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,520
landmark the volume buttons and not accidentally mash the other side. Around

62
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:44,479
on the back, we've got a 50 megapixel main camera along with a 13 megapixel

63
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:51,199
ultrawide and a depth sensor as well as a dedicated flash. And oh, the front is

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:55,600
where things get pretty interesting, and I'll tell you all about it after this

65
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,759
segue to our sponsor, Secret Lab. Secret Lab's Titan Evo gaming chair might not

66
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:03,520
be able to make you a better gamer, but it can potentially make climbing up the

67
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:07,440
ranks a bit more comfortable. It was designed with ergonomics in mind with

68
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,759
multiple adjustment options like multi-directional armrests and four-way

69
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,919
lumbar support to keep your back and tushy supported even if your teammates

70
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:19,680
aren't doing the same. Yeah, that's not very cool of them. But what is cool is

71
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,759
Secret Labs custom skins that you can refresh the look of your chair with. Go

72
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,560
check out the Titan Evo today using our link down below and game in both comfort

73
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,600
and style. Like its predecessor, the Fairphone 6 features an OLED display.

74
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:40,000
But unlike its predecessor, it reaches up to 120 hertz and goes as low as 10

75
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:44,880
hertz for power savings and can reach a peak brightness that Fairphone claims is

76
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:51,520
about 1,400 nits, but from what we found actually vastly exceeds that. We saw as

77
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,840
high as 2,000 nits in the adaptive

78
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:58,400
display profile with auto brightness enabled, which is a very decent result

79
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,120
for a modern smartphone. Not class leading, but very well fair, maybe even

80
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,000
good. Could it be a good phone this

81
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,479
time? Uh, we should probably change the display profile right away before I

82
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:19,520
judge it because I can see the yellow cast that you guys are describing. That

83
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,000
is BH colors. Ah, yes. Thank you.

84
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:27,840
Adaptive definitely more betterer and also really appreciating the upgrade to

85
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,680
the 120 Hz display. Using the device

86
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,280
already feels snappier and I haven't even really done anything with it yet.

87
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:38,560
Which I guess brings us perfectly to one of my other

88
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:42,000
issues with the Fairphone 5 because for

89
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,759
me, yes, obviously it is noble and

90
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,919
admirable that you want to build the fairest possible device, but it has to

91
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:52,560
serve the purpose of the device in the first place. And both battery life and

92
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:58,160
performance of the Fairphone 5 were major problems that seemed to stem from

93
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,639
the use of a not really smartphone

94
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:05,039
oriented processor. Now, Fairphone made that decision because it offered very

95
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:09,360
long support and that was what enabled them to give a nice long software

96
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:14,479
support window. But since the Fairphone 5 was released, Qualcomm has actually

97
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:18,400
and the industry at large has come around to the idea of longer software

98
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:24,960
support. So this time around we get a Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 which okay is not

99
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:29,759
the latest and greatest flagship but it is actually a smartphone processor and

100
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:36,240
does help the Fairphone stay somewhat within spitting distance of at least a

101
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:39,680
modern budget smartphone like the CMF

102
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,759
phone 2 from nothing.

103
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Yes, that is a phone that costs a third

104
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:51,599
as much. And if we put the Fairphone 6 up against something that is more price

105
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:55,360
comparable like a Samsung S24 family

106
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:57,520
phone, it really lags behind. But I

107
00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:02,560
still consider this to be an upgrade, raising the question, would you really

108
00:07:59,919 --> 00:08:07,919
even want to be using this 7 to 8 years from now? But hey, progress is progress.

109
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:14,000
As for the rest of the specs, we get Bluetooth 5.4LE, 4LE, Wi-Fi 6E, which,

110
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:19,440
yeah, isn't the latest gen, but I think 6E is lot for pretty much anything you

111
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:25,919
do on a smartphone, and about a 4,400 MIA battery, which

112
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,639
could be a sticking point for some folks, but I think what I would rather

113
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,320
highlight is the improvement here. Thanks to their use of a considerably

114
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,120
more power efficient processor, they went from about 10 hours in our media

115
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,279
playback battery longevity test for the Fair Phone 5 to about 15 hours. That's a

116
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,120
massive improvement. So, I guess we don't have to go outside and use our

117
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,800
phone less. We can just use our Fairphone more. That's good. Love to see

118
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:58,000
it. Not as much as we could use another phone that's still considerably behind

119
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:03,440
both of our comparison devices, the modern budget phone as well as our, you

120
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,399
know, generation and a half old flagship that's priced the same. But it's at

121
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:12,800
least crossing into the realm of like, yeah, I could say with a straight face

122
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,560
that this is an all day battery life phone. Anywh who, the reason that I

123
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:21,440
opened it up is I wanted to show you guys just how flipping easy it is to get

124
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:26,640
at the battery in this thing. Yes, it costs you a little bit of IP rating. So,

125
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,760
I think it's IP55. Is that correct? Meaning that it's

126
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,240
suitable for use in heavy rain. But

127
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:39,440
unlike a lot of modern phones that are glued shut and usually feature an IP68

128
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,880
rating, you're not going to be able to just hang out in the pool with this

129
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:47,279
thing and know that if it falls in, it'll probably be okay. Like, this is

130
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,839
it. That That's the internals. There's no seals.

131
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,240
It's not even that thick. Although, I feel like my perspective has been skewed

132
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,760
a little bit by that camping outdoorsy phone that we looked at a couple of

133
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,320
weeks ago. That thing was wild, dude.

134
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,080
And the battery is out just like that. Is that going to cost you a few milliamp

135
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:15,200
hours? Which, by the way, we need to just get rid of that as a measure of

136
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:21,279
battery capacity. Is it going to cost you a few watt hours? Yeah. But how easy

137
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:24,160
was that? That's flipping awesome. Interesting. I've been calling this the

138
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:30,880
wrong thing the whole time. You guys didn't even notice. This is not the

139
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Fairphone 6. This is the Fairphone Gen

140
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,040
6. Horrible. Just call it Fairphone 6,

141
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:41,760
please. If I have to type out Gen 6 anyway, then just call it Fairphone 6.

142
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:46,839
This is like when Apple released that stupid laptop that they just called

143
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:46,839
MacBook.

144
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,560
Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Anywh who, I like this. They take a

145
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:58,160
realistic approach to what most people are going to be comfortable doing. So

146
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:04,320
instead of having, you know, every little board and ribbon cable broken out

147
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:06,959
separately, it's just battery display

148
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:12,480
top unit, the earpiece, the loudspeaker, and the USBC port can all be

149
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:19,200
interchanged individually. Great job, Fairphone. Got a broken port,

150
00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:22,079
you get some, you know, some water or

151
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:28,959
sand or ear wax or whatever in there. Boom. Just pop that up.

152
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:32,640
Throw a new one in there. You are G2G.

153
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:35,440
Flipping love to see it.

154
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:39,279
Boom. Just like that. Put in a new USB port. That and the screen are going to

155
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,839
be your most common parts that you're going to need to replace. Speaking of the screen, I don't think I mentioned

156
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:48,240
before, it's using Corning Gorilla Glass 7i compared to Gorilla Glass 5 for the

157
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,600
previous fair. So, that's another nice little upgrade. Now that I've got it put

158
00:11:49,839 --> 00:11:56,399
back together, let's uh pop into the camera here for Oh, wow. That's a

159
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,920
contrasty experience. Hold on a sec. It's worth noting

160
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:04,480
interface-wise that uh they claim like a

161
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:08,399
very stock Google experience, which can sometimes be a good thing and sometimes

162
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:12,480
be uh not as good of a thing. I personally don't love the newer style

163
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:21,279
super low density interface up here, but to each their own. Oh, wow. Okay,

164
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:24,160
that is uh very flat. Why is this so

165
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:30,800
flat? It's weird cuz like you can tell they're doing some processing to achieve

166
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:34,959
it because my my picture of that screen

167
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,639
is super like vibrant. It's amazing how

168
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:42,079
different the preview looks from what it actually craps out. That is some of the

169
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:45,120
least pleasing bokeh that I have ever

170
00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:47,440
seen on any camera ever. See that

171
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,200
difference? Just taking this shot from a slightly different perspective. How

172
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:56,079
washed out the skin tones are in this one. Now for my classic Android jutter

173
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:02,000
test, um, iPhones just tend to handle video

174
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:06,399
recording a lot better, especially when panning. It it does have optical image

175
00:13:04,079 --> 00:13:11,440
stabilization at least for the stills camera. So maybe the selfie camera is

176
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:14,639
really good though. It is 32 megapixels. I don't think I mentioned that before.

177
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:19,440
That's a lot of megapixels on a selfie camera.

178
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:24,399
Very usable. Am I that ruddy?

179
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:28,240
No. Are you sure? Cuz I look a little ruddy. It's worth noting that these are

180
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,760
the kinds of issues that only really come up in day-to-day use. So, if you're

181
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:35,839
feeling like this is a lot more positive than my coverage of the Fairphone 5 last

182
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,720
time around, it's probably because I was actually daily driving that thing. Some

183
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,680
of the things that really bothered me about it were daily use problems like um

184
00:13:42,079 --> 00:13:48,720
the notifications being either completely silent, extremely loud, or

185
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,240
slightly less extremely loud still. So, make of that what you will. This is

186
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,000
meant to be an unboxing with some elements that would normally be included

187
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:59,040
in a review, but it's still an unboxing. Uh, speaking of elements included, we

188
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:03,600
did measure charging time and found that Fairones's representations were accurate

189
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,079
and get about a 50% charge on a 30 watt charger in under 25 minutes. We measured

190
00:14:05,839 --> 00:14:13,040
22. I think that's your leafy greens right there cuz it's salad. Should be

191
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:16,080
stereo, right? Yeah, that's a pretty big earpiece speaker to not be amplified. It

192
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,720
is.

193
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:29,519
That is one midass speaker.

194
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:35,360
Yeah, it gets pretty loud, which is

195
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:38,639
good. Kind of makes me want to use my Bluetooth headphones. Oh, that's

196
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:44,160
something I didn't really mention earlier as we were doing the physical walkthrough in spite of having micro SD

197
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:48,720
storage, which was one of the big features that phone enthusiasts lost

198
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,560
over the last several years. Uh, it does not have a headphone jack. So, you will

199
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:57,440
still be stuck with either a USBC adapter or with Bluetooth headphones.

200
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Oh, there was one more thing that I wanted to look at. The English button,

201
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,880
the limey one. This is what do they call

202
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:11,680
this? Moments. Basically, what you do is you you create a moment. Uh, I'm going

203
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:18,079
to call it family time. And then you decide which apps you can access during

204
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,720
that moment. So, I'm going to say that I

205
00:15:18,079 --> 00:15:25,440
need well, I need my camera. I'm allowed to listen to music during family time.

206
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:29,040
Oh, photos, a clock, you know, so I can set game timers and whatnot. You get

207
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:32,639
five apps. Can choose a background. These are so

208
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:39,360
different from each other. And then that's it. When you're in this mode,

209
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:42,320
you're in this moment. And you can like

210
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:46,480
take pictures with your kids or you can, you know, set a timer for their video

211
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:51,279
games or you can look at photos together, but you won't be interrupted

212
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:57,839
by anything that is not for that moment. Now, the briefing points did say that I

213
00:15:54,959 --> 00:16:01,759
was allowed to add specific contacts even to moments, but I'm not seeing

214
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,279
that. Are you guys Oh, here we go. There you go. Allowed contacts. So, you can

215
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:11,279
say only starred contacts. You can go in and determine who are your starred

216
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:15,839
contacts. So, you can even determine who is allowed to call you and interrupt

217
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:19,920
during that particular moment. Notification settings. Oh, someone who

218
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:24,800
calls multiple times, it'll allow them through because that would indicate maybe that something's an emergency,

219
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:29,680
even if they're not a starred caller. And flipping into a moment is as simple

220
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:34,639
as sliding the line button right here and flipping out is as simple as sliding

221
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,959
it back. Honestly, the fact that it's so

222
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:41,120
simple to slide out of a moment probably would make me less likely to actually

223
00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:44,399
adhere to the things that I'm supposed to be doing in that time. But I can see

224
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,839
why they do it this way. The last thing you want to be is a barrier to your

225
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,720
customer using the device the way that they want to use it. So, it's still on

226
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:55,759
you to have the discipline to stay in

227
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,759
the moment. Speaking of barriers, one of

228
00:16:55,759 --> 00:17:03,279
my other major criticisms of the Fairphone 5 was, of course, the price.

229
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:08,079
When you compare it to what you can get at that price point in terms of phone

230
00:17:05,199 --> 00:17:11,199
functionality, it's pretty tough. It's not like they don't have a value

231
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:16,319
proposition with the whole fairer materials and the long software support,

232
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,720
but especially now that more mainstream devices are also offering long-term

233
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:25,120
Android support as well as security software support, that has become less

234
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:30,720
of a compelling selling point. And I think basically it comes down to um your

235
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:33,840
interest in fair materials. Um, no. Actually, one of the things that's new

236
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:38,080
with the Fairphone 6, which by the way, I'm going to continue to call it this whole Fairphone Gen 6 thing. That

237
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:42,480
doesn't work for me. Um, is that they are apparently sourcing ethical gold,

238
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:48,080
which I only recently became aware of all the mercury, like tons and tons of

239
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:53,200
mercury that's being dumped into Amazon rivers by illegal gold mining

240
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:58,640
operations. Uh, because it makes it much easier to get the gold out of um all the

241
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:02,160
the crap. It just like pulls the gold out, combines with it, and then it can

242
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,559
be extracted. Well, that mercury just gets like dumped into the rivers. It's

243
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,320
causing birth defects and infecting groundwater. It's like one of the

244
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,840
deadliest toxins known to man. Uh, mercury, super not cool. So, ethically

245
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:19,520
sourced gold, I'm into it. I'm also into

246
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,520
