Android Authority Reviewed the FairPhone
I have a few gripes, though. They got the location of the SD slot wrong, and they advertised swapping the battery for an instant charge (which FairPhone says is not recommended.)
Also, I'm tired of people advertising FairPhone as the phone for tree huggers. It's efficacious, respectful, & economic. It's for sensible people.
@turbowafflz, the price of the FairPhone 5 at launch was £649. ^1 Now it's £419. ^2 the price of the gen. 6 could go down.
P.S. you can still get the FairPhone 4.
This is the repairable phone, yes.
I'm guessing they won't make a feature phone because that industry isn't as wasteful as the smartphone industry.
I hope they make a fair tablet, but it'd better have good I/O. **There is no reason a medium-sized device intended for media consumption shouldn't have a headphone jack.**
Fairphone (Gen. 6) Will Ship in the USA in August
IMHO, this alone makes the new model worthwhile. I can't believe they didn't mention this in the announcement video.

@JustJack23, that's basically the leaks, yes.
I think it was first reported in Dutch here: https://www.nieuwemobiel.nl/061607/25004/Fairphone-6-wordt-25-juni-2025-aangekondigd.html
And some more specs appeared in German here: https://winfuture.de/news,151563.html
I got an Email from Fairphone that gives credence to the recent leaks.

Wasted Radiance @urbanists.social I'll just copy my #introduction post
I'm new to social media.
If I had the choice between getting 10 k followers, or 1 friend, I'd pick the friend. So, if you want to talk about a topic I post about, then let's talk.
I like #Aerospace (mostly the #Space), #VideoGames, #OpenSource, #Urbanism, #Electronics, and #Indie art (e.g., #GameDev, #Writing, #FanFiction, #Illustration, etc.).
I also like "tone indicators", and Markdown.
I won't be posting anything that could be used to identify me.
