Fairphone 6+ US launch: repairable Android phone for $649
US buyers can now order Fairphone's newest repairable Android handset, the Fairphone 6+, for $649. The Fairphone 6+ US launch is the company's first direct US sale, available through Fairphone's online store and Amazon, with support for T-Mobile and AT&T, according to TechCrunch and 9to5Google. Earlier US sales went through e/OS with Google services removed.
9to5Google calls it a light refresh of the 2025 Fairphone 6. It keeps the 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display (1116x2484, 120Hz), adds Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and 12GB RAM (up from 8GB), and ships with Android 16. Storage is 256GB with microSD expansion. The 50MP Sony Lytia 700C main camera, 13MP ultrawide, 32MP selfie, 4,415 mAh battery and 30W charging carry over. Cobalt Blue joins Forest Green and Horizon Black. European price is €649.
Fairphone 6+ US launch: repairability is the selling point
Fairphone's pitch is repairability: 12 user-replaceable parts, from the battery and cameras to the USB-C port, display, and back cover. The company says the quickest swaps take under five minutes with a single screwdriver. Parts are promised until 2033, warranty is five years, and software support covers six Android updates with security patches through 2032 or 2033. CEO Raymond van Eck has said the phone was designed for disassembly and long-term use. GSMArena adds that the rest of the hardware is unchanged.
Why this matters
The Fairphone 6+ US launch gives American buyers a direct route to a phone built for longevity. The value is in multi-year parts and software support, not raw performance, in a market where most phones ship sealed.
