Fairphone 5 now has a cheaper 6/128GB variant and a new color to go with it

When the Fairphone 5 launched in late August 2023, it cost €700/£650 for an 8/256GB unit – that was the only configuration available at the time. Now the company is introducing a more affordable variant and a new colorway too.

The Fairphone 5 now has a 6/128GB version, which sells for €550/£500 (note: in some regions the online store shows the price as €500 instead). The original 8/256GB version is still around and even received a price cut to €630/£570. The phone has a microSD slot, so storage expansion is easy. However, Fairphone is promising support up to 2030 and by that time 6GB of RAM will probably feel quite small.

The new colorway is Moss Green and you can only get it in a 6/128GB configuration. Alternatively, you can go with the Matte Black option. The Sky Blue and Transparent editions only come in 8/256GB.

You can find both variants of the Fairphone 5 at the company’s online store. The old Fairphone 4 is still available at €450/£420, but you are probably better off with the 6/128GB Fairphone 5. A while back Fairphone’s CEO mentioned that the company wants to start offering phones at an even lower price point of €400, but it seems that it has a long way to go yet.

You can follow the Source link to a blog post where Fairphone lays out why it thinks 6GB of RAM is enough. Basically, the company argues that unless you are a heavy user, the ideal RAM capacity is somewhere between 6GB and 12GB, while 16GB to 24GB of RAM “might be overkill”.
