Fishing Net Phones

 
Samsung has announced a range of new Galaxy smartphones, offering improved cameras and the option of a stylus. The firm talked up the use of recycled materials such as repurposed fishing nets and used water bottles. Its "Galaxy for the Planet" is a five-year plan to eliminate plastics in packaging and stop manufacturing waste going to landfill. The nylon fishing nets are turned into polyamide resin pellets used in the production of brackets which hold the volume and power keys in place. Discarded water bottles and CD cases are also being used to create components. Today, most consumers have no clue how damaging it is for the planet to regularly renew their smartphone hardware. Once they realise, sustainability will become a key way to differentiate between premium smartphone brands. The new range includes the Samsung Galaxy S22, the Samsung Galaxy S22+, and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Prices range from £769 to £1,499. The smartphones go on general sale on 11 March.
