First Questions

[Stanzi]

Let me try to answer your questions:

@ondoho

you consider 2GB of RAM sufficient in an android smartphone, for the next years to come?

I personally do. After all, it’s still a phone and not a 2000€ gaming-PC.

@ondoho

so is 2G enough for phone calls, or do i need to expect a drop in audio quality?

Calling does not have anything to do with internet.

@ondoho

with a core module upgrade, one could at least re-use the case, battery, headphones, camera

This is also my opinion, but apparently this is almost impossible, but you’d have to ask Roboe why, since I’m not a programmer.

@ondoho

nevertheless, could one hope that one of these community projects will continue to deliver upgrades after fairphone OS stops doing so?

Well, this one is a bit tricky. If the FP2 is able to reach Android 8 Oreo, it could be easier to upgrade it even further thanks to something called “project Treble” (again, ask Roboe how this works), but Bas van Abel stated here that the upgrade to Oreo is much more difficult than the upgrade to Nougat. But I think Fairphone did their job with updating/upgrading very well for the FP2: Monthly security updates, one major Android version upgrade and another one to come!
