The Fairphone 6 may not be chasing flagship specs, but it’s setting a new benchmark in an area most smartphone makers still overlook—repairability. In its latest teardown, iFixit gave the device a perfect 10 out of 10, making it the most repairable phone they’ve tested to date.

Released last month, the Fairphone 6 is the latest sustainable smartphone from the Dutch company known for pushing ethical tech. While it comes with a respectable spec sheet—a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display (120Hz), Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, and a 4,415mAh battery—it’s the internal design that’s drawing headlines.

According to iFixit, the phone’s modular construction and glue-free assembly make it remarkably easy to fix. All components, from the cameras to the screen and USB-C port, are held in place with T5 Torx screws—no adhesive in sight. Even the battery, while no longer tool-free due to its new soft-pouch design, can still be replaced in just a few minutes using four simple screws.

Fairphone also supplies detailed repair guides and affordable spare parts, continuing its mission to reduce electronic waste and extend device lifespans. The Fairphone 6 ships with an IP55 rating for dust and splash resistance—not quite the IP68 or IP69 you’ll find in most flagships, but a reasonable tradeoff for user-accessible internals. The phone is built to last—Fairphone is offering a 5-year warranty on top of the iconic modular design.

Software support is another strong point: Fairphone promises seven major Android updates and eight years of security patches, stretching into 2033. That’s longer than what most big-name manufacturers currently offer. In Europe, Fairphone 6 sells for €599 (around $706).

iFixit’s perfect score puts the Fairphone 6 at the forefront of the right-to-repair movement. And with rumors of a US launch on T-Mobile, it may finally bring the conversation around long-lasting, fixable phones to a mainstream audience. You can order the Fairphone 6 now through fairphone.com.

The post Fairphone 6 earns rare 10/10 iFixit repairability score appeared first on Gizmochina.

Fairphone has officially unveiled the Fairphone 6, a modular smartphone aimed at sustainability-conscious users who value longevity and repairability. Staying true to its predecessor, the brand is bringing a repairability focused design with a modular body and customizable back panels. But there’s more to this phone than just its design, so here’s what you need to know.

What sets the Fairphone 6 apart from the crowd?

Talking about the most obvious features first, the company built the Fairphone (Gen. 6) with a durable body that uses recycled materials for sustainability. But it’s still durable with a military grade drop rating, Gorilla Glass 7i protection, and an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. It measures 9.6mm in width and weighs 193 grams. While this makes it one of the thickest smartphones on the market, this space is used for its unique design.

It features a modular design (glue-free) that allows users to replace 12 parts easily. So repairs are quite convenient on the Fairphone 6 as well. You also get a swappable backplate that allows you to customize the rear by replacing the backplate with another one. Official pictures showcase it with a finger loop, a lanyard, a case, and even a cardholder. On the front, it sports a relatively compact 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, FHD+ resolution, and up to 1400 nits of peak brightness. For eye comfort, there is support for both PWM and DC dimming.

Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, which is paired wth 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Users can even expand storage by up to 2TB via a microSD card slot. A sizeable 4,415mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 30W wired fast charging. For optics, the rear has a 50MP Sony MYT700C SoC (ToF, OIS) and 13MP ultra wide angle lens (macro, EIS, ToF). Meanwhile, the front houses a 32MP selfie shooter.

Other notable features include WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 LE, NFC, dual SIM 5G, and a side mounted fingerprint scanner. There is also support for Gemini AI assistant and stereo speakers. It was just announced with a 599 Euros price tag, and it is currently on pre-order in Cloud White, Forest Green, and Horizon Black. Notably, Fairphone is promising an impressive 5 years of warranty and 7 years of major Android updates (launches with Android 15) out of the box. The Fairphone 6 is listed on the brand’s official website.
