We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.

Tablet has bigger display, a powerful RAM, more storage yet it is much cheaper than Jolla phone! Except for calling functionality and associated hardware, Tablet seems to score better in terms of other hardware specs. Of course, one reason could be miniaturization and also that some initial development cost of Sailfish would have been absorbed in phone sales. I am aware that similar trends (price disparity if I can call it that) exists in other brands as well.
Is it driven by perception alone? That is, perceived value of tablet is less...
Also, can we expect Phones to become cheaper as well? (I am aware that it has been heavily discounted these days)

P.S. Not sure how it reads but am genuinely trying to understand the rationale for such a difference...I bought Jolla for what others would call a good deal in India and am not so much perturbed by the current price.. (Although it has become much cheaper in India which is how mobile prices move)
