This sustainable smartphone could be a real game-changer for the planet
TL;DR: Do your part to be more eco-friendly with a Teracube smartphone for $289.99, a 14% savings as of April 27.
The slowing down of travel, manufacturing, and day-to-day capitalist operations has sneakily made a positive impact on one thing that could really use it: the planet. But experts warn as soon as life returns to normal, the environment could wind up worse than before. So, if we truly want to help the planet, we all must make individual efforts to cut our carbon footprint in the long term.
It may seem small, but one way you can help is to stop buying a new smartphone every two years. Buying a new smartphone consumes as much energy, in fact, as using an existing one for an entire decade. And don’t even get us started on e-waste.
So what can you do instead? Grab yourself a more sustainable device, like the Teracube, that lasts longer than the average phone and is backed by a four-year warranty. The creators embrace a “fix-not-replace” philosophy to keep things sustainable — and save you money — and offer full coverage in the event of product defects.
As for specs, you can expect a 6.2-inch screen, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Its gorilla glass screen is vibrant and protects it from scratches and drops, and its 12+5MP dual rear cameras and 8MP front camera snap fine photographs. More impressively, the Teracube boasts a 3,400mAh battery that rivals top brands and – drumroll, please – even a headphone jack!
Here’s a more in-depth look at what the Teracube’s all about:
The premise seems to have proven successful, as it earned over $125,000 on Kickstarter, far surpassing its $25,000 goal, and was a top finalist on Engadget’s Best of CES 2020.
Perhaps the best part of all, though, is the price. Usually, it goes for $350, which already isn’t bad for a smartphone. But if you grab it on sale, it’s just $298.99.
