Most smartphone announcements are made with a massive amount of pomp and circumstance in large venues with tons of us tech press in attendance. But the new Fairphone (Gen. 6) was announced with very little fanfare, but that’s just the way the company likes it. Keeping things low-key means less wasted money on marketing that is sometimes costs more than it returns.

I know Fairphone isn’t that interested in massive amounts of press, though they do reach out to bigger YouTubers for coverage.
