The Fairphone Gen 6+ is now available for purchase in the United States. While many modern smartphones feature glued components and proprietary screws, this device prioritizes user repairability. Owners can open the handset using a standard T5 torx driver to access internals. This design allows users to replace parts like the display, camera modules, or the USB-C port themselves.
The handset runs Android 16 and comes with a promise of seven years of software updates. Internally, the Gen 6+ features a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor paired with 12GB of RAM. It includes a microSD card slot for storage expansion, a feature absent on most current flagship devices. The chassis is partially constructed from recycled materials, and the company emphasizes ethical supply chain practices, such as responsible cobalt sourcing.
Fairphone sells twelve individual components for the device, ranging from simple SIM trays to screen assemblies. Because the rear panel is secured with screws rather than adhesive, the device carries an IP55 rating. This means it resists splashes but is not intended for full submersion. The phone supports T-Mobile and AT&T networks and is currently listed at $650.
Previous versions of Fairphone hardware were available in the US only through third-party importers, which often required buying de-Googled operating systems. This release marks the first time the company has offered the device directly to US customers with a standard Android configuration. Consumers can find the phone on the official Fairphone website, with retail distribution on Amazon expected soon.
