Green "light" Fairphone 5 is listed on the store!

It’s live on the store! Priced 549€.

The classic FP5 is now dropped to 629€ as well.

EDIT: they are updating the store. Black edition is now available in “light” edition. Let’s wait a bit, I have been too hasty.

EDIT 2: I’m a bit sad, I wanted the green one with 256GB/8GB :pensive: I’ll take the transparent one I guess.

Maybe this is an option?

The camera part and the frame will still be black though, I know…

@Sideness Perhaps you need to find a swapping partner who finds 6GB/128GB enough and is willing to swap motherboards with you? :blush: You might still want to seek absolute certainty, but at first sight, I would think that the motherboard is the only difference (apart from the colour).

EDIT: Might make more sense (warranty-wise, IMEI) to keep motherboards and swap the exteriors.

would it not void warranty? :wink:

Got the same thought :thinking: so I added an EDIT above.

To summarize,

  • FP4 6Gb was 399€ - now (definitively?) out of stock
  • FP4 8Gb is 449€ (3 colors)
  • FP5 6Gb is 549€ (only black or green)
  • FP5 8Gb is 629€ (all colors except green)

I someone now asks me some advice for buying a “not-too-expensive” fairphone, I’m not sure which will fit better between the FP4 8Gb and FP5 6Gb :thinking:

How viable are 6 GB of RAM in a longevity perspective?

Would the RAM not heavily limit the device after a few years, seeing that most phones now have 8GB or more?

Maybe this thread can shed some light on this:

My wife will have the 6GB green version but… She wants to keep the green :wink:
I just bought the transparent one! It’s very pretty.

Do I understand correctly, that the moss green one is not available at all with 256GB/ 8GB RAM? I want to order a Fairphone 5 and hoped it was just an availability issue…

It seems like it, but you could buy the back part separately(Which I somehow didn’t think of when ordering my phone and now I regret it, I don’t get how I didn’t think of that.), as mentioned in the first post in this topic.

Hi, you could still do it now…anyway you need to order it as an extra part…
Unfortunately the frame will keep the original colour
