This trend can be traced back as far as the 1970s when California's Bay Area became referred to and known as "Silicon Valley". Tech companies like Hewlett Packard, Xerox, followed by Facebook, Apple, and Google found a home in Northern Cali, yet <a class="_2qJYG _2E8wo" href="https://www.ktvu.com/news/silicon-valleys-sparse-black-population-searches-for-a-sense-of-belonging" target="_blank"><u class="sDZYg"><strong>few knowledgeable, capable Black IT, programmers, coders, and tech professionals feel welcomed</strong></u></a>. When they are, they are met with microaggressions in hostile environments.</span></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></div><p id="viewer-eci2u" class="XzvDs _208Ie _1atvN _2QAo- _25MYV _2WrB- public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="font-size:14pt;">For that reason alone, seeing any person of color jumping into a white male-dominated industry is a reason to celebrate. I would be remiss if I allowed my lack of tech savvy-ness to deter me from sharing with you my experience with the Figgers F3 smartphone. As your average, everyday consumer of a variety of products in various industries, this review is my first ever tech product review and I am delighted to share it with you. I have been a follower of Figgers Communications for a while now and it is my hope that if you did not know about this company before, you will be more knowledgeable now.</span></p><div> </div><div id="viewer-ebj84" class="q2uC4 _208vH"><div class="c-Mgr dhpWm _7gPc2"><div class="_2o-_D"><div class="_3lvoN LPH2h"><img class="_5JW6l _36UM9 _3mwbj align-center" src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_82d31bea09f2405d9e60e744a80abe65~mv2.gif" alt="0e1fc6_82d31bea09f2405d9e60e744a80abe65~mv2.gif" /></div></div></div></div><p id="viewer-92d1l" class="XzvDs _208Ie _1atvN _2QAo- _25MYV _2WrB- public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="font-size:14pt;">Figgers is a telecommunications company founded in 2009, aptly named after the company's founder <a class="_2qJYG _2E8wo" href="https://www.freddiefiggers.com/" target="_blank"><strong><u class="sDZYg">Freddie Figgers</u></strong></a>. Figgers currently offers smartphone <a class="_2qJYG _2E8wo" href="https://figgers.com/plans/" target="_blank"><strong><u class="sDZYg">calling and data plans</u></strong></a>. For $165 per month, you can enjoy unlimited global roaming, talk, text, and data in over 80+ countries. The Florida-based telecom company and manufacturing facility released the F3 5G smartphone which I purchased in 2019 for my son. </span></p><div> </div><div id="viewer-bstm1" class="q2uC4 _208vH"><div class="c-Mgr dhpWm _7gPc2"><div class="_2o-_D"><div class="_3lvoN LPH2h"><img class="_5JW6l _36UM9 _3mwbj align-center" src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_35ce95cba67249cba9770f28551c4360~mv2.gif" alt="0e1fc6_35ce95cba67249cba9770f28551c4360~mv2.gif" /></div></div></div></div><p id="viewer-b90fq" class="XzvDs _208Ie _1atvN _2QAo- _25MYV _2WrB- public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="font-size:14pt;">You can find all of the specs <a class="_2qJYG _2E8wo" href="https://www.figgers.com/f3-specs/" target="_blank"><u class="sDZYg"><strong>here</strong></u></a>, touting up to 1TB of internal storage (the most of any 5G smartphone on the market at the time it was released), 4K display, and wireless charging within 5 meters of the Super Base charger (included in the Ultimate Package). The Figgers F3 smartphone runs on the Android operating system and is 5G network-ready. You should also know the F3 is also water-resistant should it start raining while you are trying to take a selfie or you drop it in the sink while you are washing dishes (like I did)! </span></p><div> </div><p id="viewer-4ifjb" class="XzvDs _208Ie _1atvN _2QAo- _25MYV _2WrB- public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="font-size:14pt;">To get a full view of the Figgers F3 5G smartphone, my initial reaction, user capability, what impressed me the most, and what didn't - click the video below.
