Question about microSD card storage

[Ole_Kjeldgaard]

In the description of the FP2 it says: “32 GB included, expand up to 64 GB”
Does that mean that the OS will only address 64GB (32+32) or can you fit any size of SD-card?

List of compatible microSD / SDXC cards for FP2

ATTENTION!! This wiki is just a list by FP2-users. It is there to share experience with MicroSD cards. It is nothing official by Fairphone. Fairphone does not sell any of these cards. Which MicroSD cards do work and which do not? Fairphone does not have the capacity to test MicroSD cards and is not in a position to endorse the use of brands or types of cards. So I hope that the community can help to make a nice list of good MicroSD cards. Although Fairphone is said to support MicroSD card…

That description confuses so many people
On Twitter someone assumed he could order the FP2 with 32GB or 64GB internal storage and was confused why he didn’t find that option when adding the phone to his shopping cart.

@Ingo

That description confuses so many people

Seriously?
Well, I just added something at the top of the wiki to try and clarify the purpose of it.
Are there really “so many people” being confused? And by what? Do you have more examples? I am really interested, as this might help to restructure the wiki (if necessary).

@BertG: Ingo meant this description on the website, nothing in the wiki.

@Ole_Kjeldgaard

“32 GB included, expand up to 64 GB”

@Stanzi has pointed this error out to different Fairphone employees at Austrian Fairphoners events for what feels like many years, but it seems tiny errors are hard to fix.

I would use the bugtracker for this, but I don’t have an account there .

Or … @Monica.Ciovica, can something be done about this ambiguous “32 GB included, expand up to 64 GB” description at Fairphone Shop | Fairphone ?

[paulakreuzer]

There is no bugtracker for the website is there?

Since I don’t have an account anyway, I thought I didn’t have to sweat the details about how to bend the system .

[Stanzi]

@paulakreuzer well if you insist on being precise, it was actually in a Forum topic in November 2017:

*Attention* High-level criticism! (German translation of website)

When browsing www.fairphone.com, I regularly see problems on the site / bad german translations. I want to help make the site work better, and after I just discovered the “Eagle Eye” badge on the forum today, I’m even more motivated! So, let’s start. I’m going to split this list into two parts: 1st: Problem part. Here we have problems that encounter on the site (it’s possible that they only occur in German, since I don’t want to update my preferences to every laguage all the time) 2nd…

and it wasn’t exactly this particular issue, but that the German translation was misleading:

@Stanzi

At the shop , at the technical specifications, it says “Datenvolumen, soviel du willst”. I would replace “Datenvolumen” with “Speicherplatz”, since your Datenvolumen is how much mobile data you have per month, which could be misleading.

But maybe I also told someone of this one as well, I can’t remember everything

Looking into fixing the statement as we speak
