God, why is that website so frustratingly unusable? Is it because I'm using FireFox on Android? Tried to copy/paste for a whole minute the section about the phone's memory capacity, without success.
The thing I wanted to bring attention to is the author said the phone's memory was 64GB, expandable to 400GB with a MicroSD card. He should be using the word storage. Phone adverts should be using the word storage. The technical specs pages on the phone manufacturer should be using the word storage. Phone reviewers should be using the word storage and not memory, because they aren't talking about Random Access Memory (RAM).
Amount of RAM is the only spec for phones sold today that indicate whether or not it can be responsive while running both Chrome, Facebook, and GPS simultaneously. If every mobile phone sold on earth was like the Fairphone, then this would be the one deciding factor for me - and it's a detail, that for some absurd reason, is ommited from the article.

- captainbland 6y ago> God, why is that website so frustratingly unusable? Is it because I'm using FireFox on Android? Sorry to go off on this tangent, but yeah, probably. I've been trying to use Firefox for Android recently and it's just been pretty bad. Social media sites (Twitter, Reddit) all seem almost unusably bad in it, frequently becoming unresponsive. Certain features like text highlighting not working in form fields on some sites is common. And I get they're bloated, and in Reddit's case deliberately annoying, but Chrome for Android at least produces a reasonable experience. Edit: having tried the site in both browsers - the site itself is pretty anti-user in both browsers, but in chrome seems to be more or less okay-ish after giving it a little while to load.

On Safari on macOS, there's a giant dick banner where an ad would be were it not for the pi-hole blocking the ad. The dick banner chases me down the page, too. And that's with a pi-hole that the entire network uses for DNS. The site must be near unusable for the muggles.
