    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.

      No, you’re also paying for an extra 128 GB of onboard storage. The onboard storage is faster than an SD card and can run applications.
