Eco-Friendly Smartphones

The AdZero Bamboo Phone is Made with Natural Materials

— November 3, 2012 — Eco
If you’re looking to go a step further than eco-friendly phone cases, you may be interested in the AdZero, which boasts a body made entirely of bamboo.

In an effort to create more sustainable consumer gadgets and further develop existing technologies, AdZero has created the Android-powered smartphone that features a 4.5 inch display, ample storage (16GB) and 1GB of RAM. Whether you’re in it for the sustainability aspect or the unique design, the phone is as full-featured as the majority of others on the market and is likely a force to be reckoned with.

While early bird specials have made the phone available for $500, the retail price comes in at the $700 mark, which rivals other smartphones on the market. With that said, the device is a clear standout amongst industry giants made of less natural materials.
