Fairphone Gen 6 Plus Launches in the US for $649: Specs and Price

The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus has launched in the United States for $649, giving American buyers their first real shot at the Netherlands-based brand's repair-focused phone. The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus is sold unlocked through Fairphone's website and Amazon, and it works on AT&T and T-Mobile networks.

Built to be opened up
The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus keeps the company's signature modular design, with a removable battery and a body built so owners can swap parts like the screen, camera, or battery themselves using basic tools rather than sending the phone to a repair shop. Fairphone sells the replacement parts directly, which keeps the phone usable well past the point where a sealed device would typically be retired.

The screen and chip
The phone has a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, paired with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and 12GB of RAM, an increase from the 8GB found in the previous generation. That combination puts the Fairphone Gen 6 Plus closer to mid-range flagship territory than past Fairphone models.

Storage and cameras
Storage comes in at 256GB with microSD card support for expansion, and the rear camera system pairs a 50MP main sensor with a 13MP ultrawide lens, giving the phone a reasonably complete camera setup for the price.

Software support through 2032
The Fairphone Gen 6 Plus ships with Android 16 and is backed by a commitment to software updates through 2032, a support window well beyond what most phone makers offer and central to the brand's sustainability pitch to buyers who keep devices for years.

Color options
US buyers can pick the Fairphone Gen 6 Plus in cobalt blue, horizon black, or forest green at launch, with all three colors available through Fairphone's own site and through Amazon from the first day of the US rollout.

A different pitch than the mainstream flagships
Where most phone makers compete on camera zoom and AI features, Fairphone is betting that repairability and a longer support window will win over buyers who keep phones for years rather than upgrading annually. The US launch is a test of whether that pitch resonates outside Fairphone's home market in Europe.

Protect the Fairphone Gen 6 Plus with a Komodoty case
A phone built around repairability still needs day-to-day drop protection, and Komodoty makes slim cases with precise cutouts and wireless charging support in materials like aramid fiber, slim wood with a Kevlar core, and Alcantara.
