[deleted post]That has nothing to do with my comment. My point is that this phone, even with its update support and repairability, is overpriced. And who would need 8-10 years of support anyway? It's only priced high because it's a tough sell and they need to earn money too.

    Hzzif, 25 Jan 2024Totally agree. They shouldn't at least. But it's ... more"Just another company that used environment as an excuse to justify selling their products at a high price. But they at least managed to deliver."

    The same could be said for other companies. 100% recycled materials, 100% rare earth magnets, no charger in box (yes, that technically saves the environment, but more for production costs), they still managed to deliver.

          Just give no updates because people can install custom ROM anyway, and price it at $479-$549. That'll do it.

            These chips get longer support from Qualcomm what is needed to be able to bring more software updates on lower end chipset devices

              Is it that you don't want to understand the whole purpose of the existence of the brand or is that you simply can't understand the whole purpose of the existence of the brand? -_-

                I'm not a Fairphone fanboy lmao but so many immature comments here, totally forgetting the main purpose of this phone... It's a niche market typically for environmental conscious people. These people are willing to pay the premium.

                It's not going to compete with anything superior in specs, just let that sink in. I know tech savvy people won't like this lol.

                  The QCM6490 gave me wonders. What makes it a future proof processor?

                    Bulge5, 13 Jan 2024What do you mean?Extremely pricey phone for the update support too much for the chipset it uses. You don't have to make it 800 euro with midrange specs in order for it to be more than repairable enough.

                                      Whole Fairphone will end when everybody will start making phones with user replacable battery again. Every phone will be easier repairable when they will have to have swapable battery... and specs for price with fairphone 5 are just terrible, it should cost max 500e not 700 lol
