I have been looking for an eco-friendly android Smartphone. I have come to know about Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate. Why and how is it eco-friendly?
Galaxy Exhilarate, one of Samsung’s great innovations had finally hit the shelves. At a low price of $49.99, Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate offers a high speed and 4G LTE network. However, it is not the technical specs and features that set this phone apart from other LTE Smartphones but the environment-friendly Underwriters Laboratories (UL) rating.
This is the first LTE Smartphone to acquire UL Platinum certification at the highest ranking. It is eco-friendly because the housing is made with 80% recycled post-consumer materials, low-load and comes with an energy-efficient charger that alerts the owner to unplug it when the phone has been fully charged.
