80% Fairphone 6 review: cheaper, repairable and longer-lasting Android
Source: The Guardian
The sixth-generation Fairphone takes the company further into the mainstream with a solid, mid-range Android with all the perks of a modular, repairable and more ethical design. It trades a few premium features for a lower price than its predecessors, but still has a good screen, great looks and reasonable battery life. It even has a microSD card slot for adding more storage, which is incredibly rare in 2026.The camera is serviceable, though far from the best you can get for the money. The software is basic Android 15, which is unfortunately not the latest version, a little rough around the edges and devoid of AI tricks other than Google’s Gemini chatbot. But Fairphone is slowly fixing bugs and will provide support until 2033.

The Phone You Don't Need To Feel Bad About
Source: MrMobile
MrMobile very much relies on people (like me!) who are interested in the constant release of new technology – so I’ve always thought it would be hypocritical of me to focus on ease of repair, or sustainability. But when a product combines those aspirational qualities with new thinking about how we should be using our technology … well that’s something I can’t help but try out. This is the Fairphone 6: a mobile device from the Amsterdam-based company of the same name that’s modular, repairable, and made to be mindful. In other words: the opposite of pretty much every other smartphone.

80% I tested the world's most eco-friendly phone, and was surprised by this one small addition
Source: Techradar
The Fairphone 6 is a must-buy for environmentally-minded people, thanks to its materials and the company's ethos. But beyond that you're getting a solid Android phone that stands out in a few departments and lags behind the competition in others. The few upgrades over the predecessor are welcome.

80% Fairphone 6 review: Eco-friendly but not completely future-proof
Source: Expert Reviews
So performance isn’t top of the class, battery life isn’t the most extensive and the cameras are fine but not outstanding. If you care more about any of those things, you’re better off picking up a Google Pixel 9a. The thing is, I don’t think the target audience here do care more about those things. The Fairphone 6 is something of a respite from the relentless deluge of yearly smartphone updates that offer little to no repairability, more limited software support (albeit not by much, in the case of Google, Samsung, Apple and other top players) and don’t make as big an effort to reduce and offset their environmental impact. So for those who find themselves needing a smartphone to exist in the world but are after something a little more green, I recommend the Fairphone 6. It’s better value for money than its predecessor and its efforts towards sustainability are worth the sacrifices in performance and photography.

80% Fairphone (Gen 6) review: Sustainability done the right way
Source: Tech Advisor
With a faster refresh rate, new modular accessories and a brilliant bit of software that prioritises mental wellbeing, the Fairphone (Gen 6) does a lot right. The slower than average processing power and inConsistent cameras hold the phone back, but they’re part of the trade-off for a phone centred around sustainability.

The Fairphone 6 Durability Test - The Worlds Most Repairable Smartphone

The Fairphone 6 is one of the coolest and most well designed repairable smartphones we have ever seen. Except for some reason... it's just more expensive in the United States. Would you still be interested? At 200 dollars more than everyone else?

80% Fairphone 6+ review: the most repairable, ethical phone gets faster
Source: The Guardian
The Fairphone 6+ continues to demonstrate that good, solid Android phones can be made fully repairable at home without specialist tools. It is only a small spec bump on the original Fairphone 6, which helps keep up with mainstream rivals without sacrificing parts compatibility, sustainability or ethical credentials. It is also available directly in the US for the first time.

It is only a small spec bump on the original Fairphone 6, which helps keep up with mainstream rivals without sacrificing parts compatibility, sustainability or ethical credentials. The camera, battery life, performance and screen are all decent, if far from the best you can get for the money. However, those looking for a high-end smartphone experience best look elsewhere as the Fairphone can’t match a recent iPhone, Pixel or Galaxy S with similar levels of software support.

The Fairphone Gen 6+ is a superb, modular smartphone that's both affordable upfront and cost-effective in the long-run. A lot of work has gone into making it more competitive; the screen is bigger and brighter, the camera setup is very high quality, and the overall experience is good.

80% Fairphone 6 Plus Review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Fairphone 6 Plus is a repairability champion first and a performance phone second, backing up its screwdriver-friendly design with a genuinely bright, sharp OLED screen and solid battery life. Its Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip is a step up from its predecessor but still trails several similarly priced mid-rangers, and the camera setup is held back by the absence of a telephoto lens.
