"Fairphone’s top Android for 2026 is a little faster with more memory while
maintaining full compatibility with its previous phone, including its
repairable and ethical chops.
The Fairphone 6+ continues the Dutch cooperative’s mission to make consumer
electronics longer lasting and more sustainable, containing 51% either recycled
or ethically sourced materials while being fully repairable at home with just
the one screwdriver included in the box.
It is also the first model to expand beyond Europe, going on sale in the US
directly from Fairphone. But the new Android costs £70 (€50) more than the
launch price of its predecessor, available from £569 (€649/$650), competing
directly with Google’s £499 Pixel 10a and Apple’s £599 iPhone 17e.
The 6+ is an almost exact clone of the Fairphone 6, with the same plastic body,
120Hz OLED screen and fingerprint scanner in the power button. It also supports
the same excellent modular accessories that simply screw into the back of the
phone to add a lanyard, handle or wallet.
The new model is 2g heavier, but the biggest difference for the 6+ is an
upgraded chip to the newer Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and an additional 4GB of memory
for 12GB in total."
