June 26, 2025 — Amsterdam – Fairphone has taken another bold step in sustainable smartphone innovation with the launch of the Fairphone 6, featuring modular accessories that build upon its industry‑leading repair philosophy. Available now in Europe for €599 and expected to arrive in the U.S. via Murena this August, the device further enhances longevity, user customization, and mindful usage.
Modular Accessories: Beyond Basic Repairability
Fairphone 6 introduces a new range of modular accessories that are both functional and easy to attach. These include a card holder, finger loop, and lanyard, all designed to fit onto the back of the phone using just two screws. This innovation builds on the brand’s commitment to right-to-repair, giving users the ability to not only fix but personalize their devices without relying on glue or proprietary parts.
This concept of expanded modular design puts Fairphone in a unique position in the market. While many manufacturers talk about sustainability, Fairphone integrates it directly into the user experience.
Key Hardware and Software Upgrades
- Display and Protection: The Fairphone 6 comes with a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals and improved energy efficiency. It supports 1,400 nits peak brightness and is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i for better scratch resistance.
- Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2 TB via microSD), the Fairphone 6 delivers a capable performance for most users, whether for productivity or casual use.
- Battery and Charging: The 4,415 mAh battery supports up to two days of usage with 30W fast charging. True to Fairphone’s mission, the battery is easily replaceable using basic tools.
- Cameras: The phone features a dual-camera setup with a 50 MP main sensor and a 13 MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, there’s a 32 MP selfie camera. While the number of rear cameras has been reduced from the Fairphone 5, the brand has focused on maintaining core imaging performance without compromising on modularity.
Mindful Tech: The Fairphone Moments Feature
A unique hardware switch in lime green is located on the phone’s side and is designed to activate Fairphone Moments, a distraction-free mode. This interface allows access to only five essential apps of the user’s choice. Unlike typical digital wellness tools that are software-driven, Fairphone Moments is toggled by a physical button—making it more immediate and intentional.
This mode reflects a growing consumer trend toward digital minimalism. It allows users to separate their smartphone into two personas—one for full functionality, and the other for focused moments, like family time, work, or leisure.
Built to Last: Eight Years of Software Support
In addition to its modular hardware, the Fairphone 6 guarantees eight years of software updates, with the potential to extend until 2033. At launch, the device runs Android 13, and Fairphone has committed to delivering at least seven Android upgrades over the phone’s lifecycle.
The phone comes with a five-year warranty, reinforcing the company’s promise to deliver a longer-lasting product compared to the typical two- to three-year smartphone replacement cycle.
While the Fairphone 6 has an IP55 rating (offering splash and dust resistance), this is seen as a compromise made to maintain user-repairability and easy disassembly.
Pricing and Availability
- In Europe, the Fairphone 6 is priced at €599 and is available in three colors: Cloud White, Forest Green, and Horizon Black.
- In the United States, it will be sold via Murena starting in August, priced at $899, running /e/ OS—a de-Googled Android variant focused on privacy.
Why Fairphone 6 Matters in 2025
The Fairphone 6 modular accessories and expanded repairable architecture represent a bold evolution in the smartphone space. By focusing on what truly matters—repairability, customization, and ethical sourcing—Fairphone is redefining what a smartphone can be.
Its blend of sustainable manufacturing, modular design, and mindful software experiences places it at the forefront of ethical technology. In an industry dominated by throwaway culture and locked ecosystems, the Fairphone 6 proves that a better way is not only possible, but preferable.
Whether you’re a tech minimalist, sustainability advocate, or everyday user tired of planned obsolescence, the Fairphone 6 offers a smarter, fairer alternative—and it might just be the future of smartphones.
