The phone has twelve user-replaceable parts serviceable with a single T5 torx driver, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, a 6.31in LTPO OLED display, 12GB of RAM, 256GB storage with microSD expansion, a 4,415 mAh battery with 30W charging, and only IP55 water resistance due to its removable back. It ships with Android 16 and seven years of software support, works on T-Mobile and AT&T, and is coming to Amazon. The launch highlights that the US has no equivalent to the EU's Ecodesign and energy labelling rules, which since June 2025 mandate spare parts availability, OS updates, battery longevity, and repairability grading for phones sold in Europe. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How can I buy a Fairphone in the US now, and how much does the Gen 6+ cost? Fairphone now sells the Gen 6+ directly in the United States for $650, ending the need to buy through the reseller Murena, which previously shipped it with degoogled /e/OS at a higher price. The phone works on T-Mobile and AT&T, ships with Android 16, and an Amazon listing is on the way. _daily.dev surfaces launch details like this for readers tracking repairable and sustainable hardware options._ ### What parts of the Fairphone Gen 6+ can I replace myself? Twelve parts are user-replaceable using a single T5 torx driver, ranging from an $8 SIM tray to a $90 OLED screen assembly. The removable battery is rated at 4,415 mAh with 30W charging, though the trade-off is an IP55 water resistance rating rather than higher sealing found on glued-shut phones. _Developers and repair enthusiasts comparing device longevity claims can follow hardware breakdowns like this on daily.dev._ ### What repairability rules does the EU require for phones that the US does not? EU Ecodesign and energy labelling rules effective since June 2025 require manufacturers to provide key spare parts within five to ten working days for seven years after a model is discontinued, five years of OS updates, batteries retaining 80% capacity after 800 cycles, and a repairability grade from A to E on the energy label. No comparable requirement exists in the United States. _Anyone weighing hardware choices against regional right-to-repair policy can track this landscape on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Murena Just Made The Fairphone \(Gen. 6\) Better\!](https://daily.dev/posts/murena-just-made-the-fairphone-gen-6-better--qcw4072lq) · It's Foss · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [The OnePlus 15 will go on sale in the US… sometime](https://daily.dev/posts/the-oneplus-15-will-go-on-sale-in-the-us-sometime-e4jzjqgoi) · The Verge · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Jolla Phone \(Sep 2026\)](https://daily.dev/posts/jolla-phone-sep-2026--6tlqcrsju) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google debuts $499 Pixel 10a](https://daily.dev/posts/google-debuts-499-pixel-10a-vswlruowt) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#sustainability](https://daily.dev/tags/sustainability) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/fairphone-s-most-repairable-phone-yet-is-now-available-in-the-us-at-650-zmiywqxsi) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Fairphone’s most repairable phone yet is now available in the US at $650","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/fairphone-s-most-repairable-phone-yet-is-now-available-in-the-us-at-650-zmiywqxsi","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/fairphone-s-most-repairable-phone-yet-is-now-available-in-the-us-at-650-zmiywqxsi"},"datePublished":"2026-08-18T19:46:02.145Z","dateModified":"2026-08-18T19:46:26.404Z","description":"Fairphone is now selling directly in the United States for the first time, offering the Gen 6+ for $650 without going through the Murena reseller.
