Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.
Do you know why it’s not in the US?
Anything that emits radio signal must receive an FCC certification. Fairphone has not submitted the Fairphone 5 for certification. Certification database search It’s annoying but a super important regulatory process.
I’d also like an official shop instead of the weird Murena store, which sells the FP4 for $650… That’s ridiculous. They have parts in stock though, so I guess that’s nice.
Thanks for a great and in depth answer. I love Lemmy.
Idk, but if I had to guess, the answer is almost always money.
