Fairphone is well known for its commitment to social impact and sustainability, using responsibly-sourced recyclable materials in its designs. For example its most recent release (Fairphone 5) is made of 100% recyclable plastic. This is helpful for parents wanting a smartphone option with a lower environmental footprint.
The smartphones allow users to do things like film videos, take photographs, send messages and access a huge range of apps from games to educational apps through the Google Play store.
Fairphone smartphones do have parental controls available and these can be accessed through the Google Family Link app. This allows parents to block or restrict apps on their child’s smartphone, limit screen time and manage access to specific websites. You can also restrict apps and games on Android devices by using the Google Play parental controls.
