The Fairphone 6, released almost two years after its predecessor, prioritizes repairability, ethical production, and long-term support. While slightly less powerful than competitors, it boasts a brighter display, improved battery life, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone offers a Google-free /e/OS option prioritizing privacy, but with some app compatibility issues. Its modular design allows for easy repairs using a single screwdriver, and Fairphone provides extensive support and spare parts. The price is competitive in Europe but significantly higher in the US, where the /e/OS version is exclusive. Although the camera is not top-tier, its durability and ethical production make it a compelling option for eco-conscious consumers who value repairability and longevity.
