Expert Overview
Fairphone 6 is built to last a decade. Every part of the phone—screen, battery, camera, USB port—can be swapped out by you in seconds without glue. It uses a special 'Industrial' Qualcomm chip guaranteed to receive updates for 8-10 years. It is made from ethically sourced fair-trade materials. It is not about having the highest specs, but the longest life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I really replace parts myself?
Yes! No glue is used. You just remove a few screws to swap the screen, camera, or charging port.
Q2: How long will it last?
The hardware is built tough, and software support is planned for up to 10 years, which is unheard of.
Q3: Is the processor fast?
It uses an industrial IoT chip (QCM6490) which is roughly equal to a Snapdragon 778G. Stable, but not a flagship speed demon.
Q4: Is the camera good?
Fairphone has vastly improved the software. The 50MP Sony sensors take natural, detailed photos comparable to a Pixel a-series.
Q5: Is it waterproof?
IP55 rated. It resists rain and dust, which is impressive for a phone you can open up.
Q6: Why is it so thick?
At 10.5mm, it is thicker than modern phones because it needs space for screws and modular connectors instead of glue.
Q7: Does it come with a charger?
No, to reduce e-waste, it comes in a minimal box with no cable or charger.
Q8: Is the battery swappable?
Yes, you can pop off the back cover and swap the battery in 5 seconds, just like in the 2010s.
Q9: Why is it expensive for these specs?
You are paying for fair wages for workers, conflict-free minerals, and the extended warranty/support infrastructure.
Q10: Can I add memory?
Yes, it has a microSD card slot for storage expansion.
