SHIFT5me – Your compact companion!
The SHIFT5me expands our modular SHIFTm series with an economy model. Like the SHIFT6m and SHIFT6mq, the SHIFT5me is characterized by its modular design and the associated ease of repair. If you are looking for a sustainable smartphone with compact dimensions, you will find a perfect partner for your everyday life in the SHIFT5me.
To optimally protect your SHIFTPHONE, your SHIFT5me will be delivered with SHIFT bumpers and bulletproof glass. In case it does break, we also send you our screwdriver so you can fix it yourself.
Notice: Since most households are equipped with sufficient chargers, you will find a USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter in the delivery, but no charger. Make sure to charge your SHIFT6mq battery with at least a 2 amp charger.
You need a more recent operating system than Android™ 8? Updates to more recent Android versions for the SHIFT5me are in progress. However, we currently cannot guarantee when Android™ 10 or newer systems will be available for the SHIFT5me. If you need a more up-to-date operating system, we would be happy to refer you to the SHIFT6mq. If you still decide to buy a SHIFT5me or you already own a SHIFT5me, you can always use our upgrade option to switch to a more up-to-date device .
