Fairphone Gen 6 is not trying to win the Android market with the fastest chip or the loudest camera claims. Its purpose is repairability, longer ownership, and responsible sourcing in a phone that still feels modern. The official retail model name is Fairphone Gen 6. It launched in Europe in June 2025 at 599 euros, with UK pricing around 499 pounds. A US option later appeared through Murena with the privacy-focused /e/OS software at a much higher import-style price.
The main public variant uses 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, with microSD expansion up to 2TB. The colors are Black, Green, and White. That simple configuration makes sense because Fairphone sells longevity more than fashion variety. The phone also has a five-year warranty and an update promise stretching toward 2033, which is the kind of detail ordinary spec comparisons often miss.
The hardware is built around Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, a 6.31-inch OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, a 4415mAh user-replaceable battery, and 30W charging. The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization, a 13MP ultrawide camera, and a 32MP front camera. Those specs are midrange, not flagship, but the point is that they are housed in a design where twelve components can be replaced by the owner or a repair shop.

Repairability Is The Product
Fairphone's replaceable parts list is the real specification. Battery, display, cameras, USB-C port, speakers, back cover, and other modules can be serviced more easily than on sealed flagship phones. That lowers the chance that one broken part turns into a full device replacement. It also changes the economics of ownership: a phone that costs more up front can still be cheaper over several years if the battery and port can be replaced affordably.
The design includes IP55 resistance, which is not as strong as the IP68 ratings on many sealed flagships, but that is part of the tradeoff. A device designed to open and be repaired has different sealing constraints. Buyers have to decide whether they prefer maximum water resistance or practical repair access. For Fairphone's audience, repair access is the main reason to buy.
