Fairphone 6+ launched with US market expansion

Overview

Fairphone has officially launched the Fairphone 6+ (Gen. 6+), a modular smartphone that balances high performance with the company’s commitment to sustainability and repairability. The device features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage.

Designed for longevity, the phone consists of 12 easily replaceable components, such as the battery, display, and USB-C port. Users can perform repairs using basic tools, including a screwdriver provided with the device. To further extend its lifespan, Fairphone offers software support and updates through at least 2033. The hardware is constructed using a high percentage of recycled or fair-trade materials.

In a strategic expansion, Fairphone is now entering the United States market directly via its official website and Amazon, moving away from a previous reliance on third-party distributors. The device is compatible with US carriers T-Mobile and AT&T. It is available in Cobalt Blue, Horizon Black, and Forest Green, with a reported starting price of approximately €649/$.

Technical specifications for the Gen 6+ include a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display, a 50MP Sony LYTIA main camera, and a 4415 mAh user-removable battery. The internal storage is expandable up to 2TB via microSD. The company markets the device as ‘100% e-waste neutral’ and provides a five-year warranty.
