When the device was initially released, its base model came with an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, priced at €700 or £650, offering only this single configuration option at launch. The corporation is now launching an additional affordable option and a fresh color palette as well.
The Fairphone 5 introduces a new 6/128GB configuration, priced at €550 or £500, although please note that certain retailers may display the price as €500. The 8/256GB model has retained its circular design and seen its value decrease to €630/£570. The device features a microSD slot, making it easy to expand storage capacity as needed. Despite this, Fairphone promises assistance up to 2030, by which time 6GB of RAM will probably feel woefully outdated.
The latest iteration boasts an innovative color scheme, dubbed Moss Green, which is exclusively available with a 6/128GB storage combination. Alternatively, consider opting for the sleek and modern Matte Black finish. The Sky Blue and Clear editions are exclusively available in an 8/256GB configuration.
You can find each variant of the Fairphone 5 on the company’s website. The previous model remains available for €450 or £420, yet you may find better value in the feature-rich Fairphone 5, boasting a 6-inch screen and 128GB of storage. While Fairphone’s CEO has reiterated the company’s goal of offering refurbished phones in the past, it remains a long-term aspiration still pending realization.
Here is the rewritten text:
You can find a supply link to an informative blog post where Fairphone presents its reasoning behind concluding that 6GB of RAM is indeed sufficient. The corporate asserts that, generally speaking, optimal RAM capacity for most users lies within the range of 6GB to 12GB, suggesting that higher amounts, specifically 16GB to 24GB, may exceed necessary requirements.
Introducing the Fairphone 5 Neighborhood Edition in moss green. For just €549, this model offers an impressive combination of power and affordability, featuring 6GB of RAM and a spacious 128GB of storage. Take a moment to experience the excitement of exploring our website!
