80% I tested the world's most eco-friendly phone, and was surprised by this one small addition
Source: Techradar English
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 (Gen 6) review: Sustainability done the right way
Source: Tech Advisor English
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.
