The Fairphone 6 no longer feels like a compromise (except in the US)

The Fairphone 6 is the latest model from the ethical smartphone company, released almost two years after the Fairphone 5. The company's approach focuses on user-repairability, long-term customer support, and ethical production, rather than cutting-edge specifications. While the Fairphone 6 may not have the most powerful hardware or the most impressive display and camera compared to mainstream flagship smartphones, the company believes in creating phones to be kept, repaired, and used for an extended period. This comes at the cost of a higher price point, but the compromises are smaller and easier to accept compared to previous Fairphone models. The article highlights that the Fairphone 6 is a viable option for consumers who prioritize sustainability and ethical practices over the latest technical features. However, it notes that the availability and accessibility of the Fairphone 6 may be limited, especially in the US market.
