Now, if only they were officially in the US market, I would absolutely buy one the next time I need a new device. There’s two big problems. Firstly, I can’t guarantee that it’s going to work with T-Mobile US, which is my carrier. And second, if I needed a spare screen or battery replacement or whatever, I’d have to get it shipped from Europe, which is a pain in the ass.
You can officially buy them in the US through Murena: https://murena.com/america/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-6/
Doesn’t change the carrier compatibility problem. Until they either make a device specific to NA, or make their existing one more global in its frequencies supported, I don’t see it selling very much over this side of the pond - and that’s rather unfortunate.
That murena site has a bullet that specifically says compatible with TMobile and looks to have the required band support for 4G and 5G.
Too bad I’m on Visible (Verizon-owned MVNO). Thanks, nonetheless.
hey, you forgot your goal posts.
No, YOU forgot multiple people can partake in a conversation. I’m NOT the person who was looking for T-Mobile compatibility.
Okay, I will keep that in mind. Thank you.
Start selling them where you’re making them!
They don’t sell them in the netherlands and china?
Although, it’s not high end.
I’d argue that mid-tier specs are good enough for almost everyone.
In the past when phones improved significantly with every generation this would’ve been more of a problem for longevity IMO.
Yeah people are still used to phones evolving rapidliy. However in the last 8 years nothing much changed with phones any more.
