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.
What are you putting on your phone that needs that much storage? Photos or videos should be moved onto something with redundancy
the solution to that is wanting back normal sd card support. I’ll never buy a phone without it, and I’m not just saying it. I need the removable storage that is not a USB stick but something inside of the phone, and I think this is a basic thing. it’s a shame though that in the fairphones you can only access it after getting out the battery.
Well, my phone has an SD card slot, which I bought a 512GB micro SD card to go in, and I used extensively, then about a month ago the OS stopped letting me write to it. And there aren’t any alternate OSs for my device, just Motorola Android
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.
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.
Fair phones do not have grapheneos support
I believe fair phones main selling point is greenwashing the normal cell phone experience.
Greenwashing is a bit harsh, no? From what I’ve seen, Fairphone is fairly involved in the improvement of production processes and usage patterns of phones (fairer wages, safer/cleaner ressource extraction, long-term software support, easier repairability for a wide audience) to the extent that this is possible for a relatively small company. They haven’t always delivered on every one of these points, but have had a pretty strong record in recent years, stronger than any other company I know of. Or maybe there are other companies that do this better or similarly well?
Another missed opportunity to bring back the headphone jack.
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?
The Fairphone isn’t a good deal price wise. That’s not what it is marketed as in the least.
