More than a decade after launching in Europe, the Netherlands company is now selling its repairable phones in the US, starting with the Fairphone (Gen 6+).
The Fairphone 6 Plus, a repairable smartphone, has made its debut in the US market. This marks a significant milestone for the company, as it is the first Fairphone model to be sold directly in the US. Priced at $649.99, the device is available for purchase on Fairphone's website and Amazon, and it is unlocked to support both T-Mobile and AT&T networks.
Although Fairphones 4 and above have been sold in the US through a partnership with Murena, the developer of /e/OS, a de-Googled version of Android, this is the first time the Fairphone has offered direct sales to US consumers. The Fairphone 6 Plus is a minor hardware upgrade over its predecessor, but it represents a major step forward for the company in terms of accessibility and availability to a wider audience.
