Murena’s Fairphone 6, an Android phone built with privacy, repairability, and sustainability in mind, is finally available for purchase in the U.S. The company first revealed the Fairphone 6 in June 2025<\/a>, with pre-orders opening that same month. Now, the smartphone is generally available for $899 and runs the privacy-focused \/e\/OS.<\/p>\n

It’s the follow-up to the Fairphone 5<\/a>, which debuted in 2023, and is the fourth Fairphone made in partnership with Murena. You might know the company as the maker of \/e\/OS, an Android fork that provides a “deGoogled” experience<\/a> for users. The operating system retains only what is needed, cutting out data collection at the system level. It also adds custom, tracker-free Mail and Calendar apps, plus the Murena Workspace for business and cloud needs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The private software experience from Murena combines with Fairphone’s repairable electronics design in an effort to offer users “an ethical smartphone,” according to the news release. Fairphone 6 is made to be repairable, packing a modular design with parts that can be replaced with a single screwdriver. The repairable smartphone comes with five years of warranty, too.<\/p>\n

On the hardware side, you get a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip<\/a> and a 4,415mAh battery. Despite offering a larger capacity, the Fairphone 6 battery is smaller than the one used in the Fairphone 5, and costs less than $50 to replace. There’s a primary 50MP main camera paired with a 13MP ultrawide lens for all your photography needs.<\/p>\n

The Fairphone 6 comes with 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage as standard, but there’s a microSD card slot for future expansion. The display panel is a 6.31-inch OLED covered with Gorilla Glass 7i.<\/p>\n

Of course, the $899 price tag for the Fairphone 6 is hefty, especially when you consider that you’re paying flagship rates for a phone with midrange specs. The value proposition is much more than what you get on paper, though. The Fairphone 6’s privacy-first nature and repairability, which includes 12 easily-repairable parts, are what makes it an attractive option \u2014 even for the price.<\/p>\n

Building a private, sustainable, and repairable Android smartphone isn’t cheap, so you’ll be paying a premium for that if you choose to buy the Fairphone 6. However, there are some that will gladly pay more for a repairable phone without unnecessary Google apps or services.<\/p>\n
