#maraphone — Public Fediverse posts

Das gute #Maraphone von Schatzi ist kaputt.
#Shift8 kann man erst vorbestellen
Shift 6 ist ausverkauft
#FP5 ist derzeit nicht lieferbar
Ausserdem sind Shift 8 und FP 5 so 6,5 Zoll Monster, warum wollen die Leute mit Tablets in der Hosentasche rumlaufen? Das ist ja inzwischen wie bei Autos.

Was gibts denn da noch so?
Max 5,5 Zoll, 128GB, Apple- und Googlefrei zu betreiben

Für den Moment habe ich noch ein FP2 hier.

The first South African (and Rwandan) smartphone – How the Mara Z compares to the Huawei Y7 2019 and the Samsung Galaxy A30

Mara Phones recently opened the first-ever smartphone manufacturing facility in South Africa, where it will build its Mara X and Mara Z smartphones. The company built the factory using a R1.5-billion investment that was supported by the South African government. The smartphone maker states that its two devices have long-lasting batteries, lots of storage space, and are Android One-certified.
Mara Phones is entering a competitive budget smartphone market, however, with dominant companies Samsung and Huawei both offering similarly-priced handsets.
The conclusion is pretty easy to determine from the comparison at https://mybroadband.co.za/news/smartphones/324426-the-first-south-african-smartphone-how-it-compares-to-huawei-and-samsung.html. One thing not mentioned is the support period and expected speed of Android updates which is pretty key too. https://squeet.me/objects/962c3e1012e81c9e91e960d1f073262d2c6ca94b
