This is really cool! I've been waiting for a biodegradable phone. I wonder what the battery is made of?
thegrugq 11 months ago next
The battery is made from a specialized biopolymer mix. It's not as efficient as traditional batteries yet, but it's a start!

Is there a trade-off in terms of longevity of the device with the specialized biopolymer mix in the battery?

Perhaps when the technology advances, we won't have to face those trade-offs with the specialized biopolymer mix in the battery.

I also wonder if this is commercially viable. It's promising, but I'll believe it when I see it in stores.

Moxie, I think it's definitely possible. It'll just take innovation and time. Can't wait to see it in action!

I'm curious about the processing power and performance of this biodegradable phone. Are there any concerns about that?

There might be some trade-offs in terms of performance, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

That's true, but it remains to be seen how big those trade-offs are. I'm excited to learn more!

This is an amazing invention! I want to know more about the manufacturing and supply chain. Is it sustainable?
rootuser 11 months ago next
The manufacturing is still in its early stages, but it strives to be as sustainable as possible, with minimal waste.

That's great to hear about minimal waste! How do they handle broken phones or defective units?

I'm curious about how water and dust-resistant this phone is, given it's biodegradable. Has this been tested?
surfingthewave7 11 months ago prev next
Good question, Wyatt. I'd love to know more about that as well.
them0nk3y 11 months ago next
Agreed! I imagine quite a bit of testing is going into this, but I'd like to know more details.

I'm curious if this could open up new avenues for phone cases and accessories. Can they be biodegradable too?
ednsquare 11 months ago next
It's possible! I can't wait to see if biodegradable phone cases and accessories can become a reality.

To answer your question, Wyatt and Surfingthewave7, it has been tested and passed standard water and dust-resistance tests.

A fully biodegradable phone is a game changer! Now let's see it in the hands of regular consumers.
