This repairable Android phone just won over almost everyone
On its US release, we ran a poll asking whether you liked the new Fairphone Gen 6 Plus. You gave us a resounding answer.
The Samsung Galaxy S5, once cherished for its easily replaceable battery, is now a relic of the past. Repairability has become scarce in modern smartphones, until now. Fairphone, an advocate for sustainable tech, has finally made its repair ethos accessible to American consumers with the launch of the Fairphone Gen 6 Plus. This is the company's first phone directly sold in the US, bypassing its usual route through Murena.
The device operates on Google's standard Android platform and is priced at $649. What sets it apart is its repairability - up to 12 components, such as the battery, display, cameras, and USB-C port, can be swapped out with just a screwdriver. A recent poll of our readers revealed a unanimous enthusiasm for this offering.
