1. Awesome! Is there a way you could do one for Carhartt? I don’t believe they are the greatest, but I would watch anything you made lol

2. I always enjoy your videos and their thoughtful analysis. I'd also echo the other comments about alternatives like refurbishing, recycling, and companies with a different paradigm, like Fairphone. Though it's much harder to measure, I think it's also important to consider the environmental impact of how one smart phone can consolidate so many electronics into one product, rather than every person owning a separate phone, gps, camera, ipod, etc. If done well, with a model for longevity and recycling, smart phones have the potential to dramatically reduce our electronic demand/waste, but there seems to be little economic incentive (or consequences) pushing for that model.

3. You made my proud that my phone is an old nokia since my mom, still amazing to use and it can also download songs so I'm never bored

4. Thank's for this video. I've to make a presentation about the fairness of Smartphone for school. Thank you.

5. OMG PLEASE COVER THE APPLE RENEW PROGRAM AND THE REFURBISHED PRODUCTS! PLS PLS PLS

6. thank God this isn't about Huawei, a video like this and it would be over for them, no that it isn't but still

7. loved this. 
   Please, could you do one on apple devices?

8. thank you for this!!! people need to stop giving into the planned obsolescence scheme. if I were to pick a phone to replace my current one, it would definitely be a Fairphone!

9. please do an APPLE and GOOGLE pixel..

10. Would love an indepth video looking at alternatives. E.g. Fairphone, the second hand market

11. Thanks for the video. I would suggest to give some alternatives and indications for those that are considering to purchase a smartphone in a more ethical and ecological manner.
    I suggest checking Fairphone: https://www.fairphone.com/en/
    And this site with a comparison of several brands: https://thegoodshoppingguide.com/ethical-rankings-mobile-phones

12. this is why i still use a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo

13. when our changing climate uploads i drop everything im doing and rush to click

14. Thank you OCC for making a video that is not well covered of the environment impact for our uses of our smartphone. i strongly believe that we as consumer need to start taking action on reducing the amount of waste generated by always changing smartphone that are still working for the latest and greatest device. As always, thank you for making such a nice video! =)

15. Thank you for adressing this.

16. Why did you only focus samsung?

17. Heyyo!! What brand of smartphone do you own? What aspects of a phone do you consider when you get a replacement? (I own a hand-me-down iPhone 6)
