    I think you’re posting from pre-RAM shortage times. We might be looking at buying 900 USD phones and keeping them for more than 3 years in the very near future anyway.

    Maybe we’ll get less e-waste out of EU-mandated right-to-repair parts manufacturing and “influx”… hopedully not more.

      I don’t think RAM shortage will last for too long. Also I’m fine with 8GB of RAM if me phone runs mainlinux Linux. Actually 8GB is extra.
