Article Summary

Fairphone 6 has earned a perfect 10/10 score from iFixit, reinforcing its reputation as the most repairable smartphone on the market. Designed with modularity and sustainability in mind, the Dutch company’s latest model features glue-free components, a simplified screw-based assembly, and detailed repair guides for users. The phone’s battery, screen, USB-C port, and cameras can all be replaced using a basic T5 Torx screwdriver.

While the Fairphone 6 sacrifices some flagship specs—such as USB 2.0 speeds and an IP55 rating—it offers a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display, 8GB of RAM, and a 50MP rear camera. Its soft-pouch battery design allows for a thinner profile, though it now requires five screws for removal. Fairphone backs the device with a five-year warranty and promises software updates through 2033, including seven major Android upgrades.

The phone’s ethical sourcing and long-term support make it a standout in a market dominated by disposable tech. By extending the lifespan of devices, Fairphone aims to reduce electronic waste and promote consumer empowerment through repairability.
