The Fairphone 5 has just become more accessible with the introduction of a new 6/128GB variant and an eye-catching Moss Green color. Initially launched in late August 2023, the Fairphone 5 was only available in an 8/256GB version priced at €700/£650. Now, tech enthusiasts can enjoy a more affordable option, available for €550/£500 (with some regions listing the price as €500).
The original 8/256GB model has also seen a price reduction to €630/£570, making it a competitive choice as well. One of the standout features of the Fairphone 5 is its microSD slot, allowing for easy storage expansion, which is crucial given the promise of software support until 2030. However, as technology evolves, Fairphone acknowledges that 6GB of RAM may feel limited in the future.
The new Moss Green color is exclusive to the 6/128GB configuration, providing a fresh aesthetic choice alongside the existing Matte Black option. Notably, the Sky Blue and Transparent editions remain exclusive to the 8/256GB variant.
For those considering their options, the Fairphone 4 is still available for €450/£420, but the 6/128GB Fairphone 5 presents a better value proposition for most users. Fairphone’s CEO has hinted at plans to release phones at an even lower price point of €400, although that goal remains on the horizon.
If you’re curious about Fairphone’s perspective on RAM requirements, the company argues that for most users, 6GB to 12GB of RAM is sufficient, suggesting that anything beyond that might be excessive for typical usage scenarios.
