Fairphone has officially launched the Fairphone 6 Plus, a midrange Android smartphone that bridges the gap between everyday performance and extreme repairability. Moving past previous compromises, this new model feels like a typical mid-tier device while marking the brand’s proper debut in the US market.
Priced at $649, the phone packs 12GB of RAM, a capable Snapdragon processor, and promises long-term software support with up to six OS upgrades and a five-year warranty. Its standout feature remains its user-replaceable components, allowing owners to easily swap out batteries, screens, and cameras at a fraction of standard repair costs.
While it still makes some trade-offs—such as lacking full water resistance and wireless charging—the Fairphone 6 Plus offers a genuinely sustainable and practical alternative for consumers tired of disposable electronics.
- Highly modular design with 12 user-replaceable parts
