The HIROH phone is apparently launching with /e/OS exclusively or before there is an Android version (which is great :)) ♥️

  • 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage expandable up to 2TB, giving you room for everything that matters.
  • A 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a camera system pairs a 108MP Samsung sensor with a 32MP Sony front lens for crisp, striking detail in every shot.
  • A hardware kill switch; disconnected completely the microphone and cameras at the circuit level, leaving nothing open for intrusion.
  • A software-based switch, to easily turn off all your radio signals, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

I'm just talking pure cost to manufacture for each. The cost of the hardware is higher: faster CPU, faster GPU, additional RAM, additional storage, higher end cameras, etc. That is where the cost of the phone comes from, so you can't compare cost of a Fair Phone to this one any more than you can compare the cost of a Pixel 9 to the Pixel 9a. Both have basically the same software, warranty, parts availability, etc., but the 9a was about half the price of the 9 because the "a" series is a lower-end phone overall.
