Fairphone is well-known for being a company that prides itself on being an advocate for sustainable and repairable phones, and the company is now growing its list of devices with the launch of the Fairphone Gen. 6+, which is also being made available in the US officially for the very first time.
Since Fairphone had hit the market, its devices were never sold in the US officially like devices such as the Galaxy Z Flip 8 or the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL. You could buy a Fairphone device in the US, but you had to get it through unofficial retailers. With the Fairphone Gen. 6+, you can buy the phone officially on Amazon, with legitimate US carrier compatibility and all.
The Fairphone Gen. 6+ will launch in the US for $649.99
Smartphones these days have skyrocketed in price and when it comes to repairing them, it’s generally not an easy task for the user. That’s where the Fairphone Gen. 6+ comes in, as it’s a fully repairable smartphone that also doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. It retails for $649.99, putting it right in the mid-tier range of devices, with comparable mid-tier specs.
It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset as well as 12GB of RAM and it offers 256GB of storage. Fairphone also includes an expandable storage slot that support up to 2TB of extra space. It’s also using an OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it comes with a 50MP camera for photos.
Other than the reasonable price and decent specs, the big selling point is that this is a repairable device you can fix your self if something needs to be swapped out. The Fairphone Gen. 6+ has 12 replaceable parts, plus you can remove the back with just a couple of screws, with Fairphone offering a variety of customizable back options that can include finger loops and lanyards.
