- The Fairphone Gen 6 has a recommended price of ~$695.
Fairphone has made a name for itself over the years thanks to its repairable designs, long update policies, and sustainable approach to smartphone manufacturing. We’ve been expecting a new phone for a while now, and the company has finally peeled the curtain back on the Fairphone Gen 6.
The Fairphone Gen 6 continues to offer a repairable design. The device features 12 replaceable parts, including the battery, screen, camera, and USB port. However, Fairphone is also taking cues from Nothing’s CMF Phone line by offering accessories that attach to the back of the phone via two screws. These accessories include finger loops, card holders, and lanyards. The company didn’t rule out additional accessories when we asked about future add-ons.
