"The Fairphone 6 costs 499 (599), making it cheaper than previous models and pitting it squarely against budget champs such as the Google Pixel 9a and the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, while being repairable at home with long-term software support and a five-year warranty. On paper it sounds like the ideal phone to see out the decade. The new Fairphone is slicker than its predecessors,"
"with a modern, 6.3in 120Hz OLED screen on the front and a recycled plastic body that feels solid and high quality. It looks great in its off-white colour as tested, but also comes in green or black. The phone is resistant against rain and splashes but not immersion, so don't drop it in a bath or swimming pool."
"The back plate is held in place by two exposed Torx screws and hides the battery and other modular components, which can simply be unscrewed and replaced at home if needed. The back plate can be swapped for various accessories, each costing about 25, including a finger loop, a credit card holder or a lanyard.

The Fairphone 6 is priced at €499 (£599), positioning it against budget mid-range phones while offering strong repairability and a five-year warranty. The phone features a modern 6.3in 120Hz OLED display and a recycled plastic body available in off-white, green, or black. The device resists rain and splashes but is not fully water‑immersion rated. The rear plate is secured by two exposed Torx screws, revealing a user-replaceable battery and modular components that can be swapped at home. Swappable back-plate accessories cost around €25 each. The power button houses a fingerprint scanner but can be awkward to press, and the opposing volume keys cause frequent accidental presses.
