the Fairphone 5 has sold for €699 and up since it launched last summer, making it kind of pricey for a device with mid-range specs.Now the company has dropped the price to €629 and introduced a new €549 model for customers willing to sacrifice a little memory and storage.

both phones have a microSD card reader. So you’re paying €150 more for just 2 more gb of RAM?

That 2gb can make the difference between apps being reloaded or not. 6GB is the barely minimum if you use your phone more than just a phone. In a few years 8GB will be the new minimum.

Since the memory and storage are soldered to the mainboard though, and that’s one of the few components that’s not sold separately, there’s no official support for turning a 6GB/128GB Fairphone into an 8GB/256GB model though.

Cant they just sell a replacement mainboard like Framework?

One day if they can survive it and they are a good faith actor.

What is their selling point? vis-a-vis graphene and calyx besides, a normie can buy it and use out of the box.

Personally, I don’t see a problem with this as 128 gigs of storage is fine for me on a phone. In fact, I currently have a 64 gigabyte phone and I’m not using all of it, even now.

Good it exists, for people like you.

Once the OS stopped letting me use my SD card with my phone, by 256GB internal storage has not been enough for me, I’ve had to remove some stuff I’d prefer to have on my phone off it.

Yeah, same here but like another commenter pointed out... some people need the fucking space.

Which is cool, let them pay the margin on the product.

A bit toxic but that's how market is supposed to work.

Just like my cell phone plan, I get to pay $15 per month for calling texting and 5 gigabytes of data because I know for a fact that I’m not going to use 5 gigabytes of data where everybody else is paying $60 or more for unlimited.

sunzu2 ,

yep learning this cool trick too...

just trying to cut "margin" everywhere i can, it saves $ while really hurting "owners" hehe
