Fairphone 6+ Earns a Perfect 10/10 for Repairability
Is the Fairphone 6 Plus the most repairable smartphone you can buy? In this teardown, we examine its modular design, replaceable battery, removable USB-C port, accessible display, interchangeable cameras, and other repair-friendly components.We also explore Fairphone’s origins as a Dutch social campaign, its commitment to a fairer and more sustainable supply chain, and the long-term support that could keep this phone working for years. That includes seven years of software updates, a five-year manufacturer’s warranty, replacement parts, expandable microSD storage, and an unlockable bootloader.
After a remarkably straightforward disassembly, the Fairphone 6 Plus earns a provisional 10 out of 10 on our smartphone repairability scale.
Would repairability and long-term support convince you to choose Fairphone over a more conventional flagship?
