Fairphone 6: The most repairable phone alive, now with eight years of updates.

SpecEagle Editorial·Jun 2025·$649·Score 70/100

Fairphone 6 is the only phone you can fully repair on a kitchen table, with a swappable battery and updates promised into 2033 — backed by a genuinely fair supply chain. On raw specs the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 30 W charging are ordinary for $649. That gap is the point: this is a phone bought with conscience first, benchmarks second.
