Fairphone's latest repairable phone is finally available in the US for $650

Fairphone, a Dutch company renowned for its eco-friendly and repairable smartphones, is set to introduce its latest model, Fairphone (Gen 6+), to the U.S. market. The device, priced at $649, is the first Fairphone to be available directly to consumers in the United States without any alterations.

The Fairphone 6+ supports networks from T-Mobile and AT&T. It operates on a midrange Android platform powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor and features 12GB of RAM. Its battery capacity is 4,415 mAh, supporting fast charging up to 30 W. The phone displays a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED screen with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.

The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony sensor with an f/1.88 aperture for the main camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor with an f/2.2 aperture for the secondary camera, and a 32-megapixel sensor with an f/2.0 aperture for the selfie camera. While the camera specifications suggest capable photo quality, low-light performance may be compromised.

A standout feature of the Fairphone 6+ is its replaceability. It includes 12 replaceable components, such as the battery, cameras, and display, which can be replaced using a single screwdriver. The company offers a five-year warranty and software support until 2033.

Fairphone emphasizes sustainability, with the Fairphone 6+ boasting a reduced carbon footprint of just 30 kg of CO2e per unit manufactured. Available in Forest Green, Horizon Black, and Cobalt Blue, the phone also comes with accessories like a finger loop, lanyard, and card holder, which can be attached by removing the back cover.
