Fairphone is officially starting sales in the United States of its repairable Android phone, the Fairphone Gen 6+ (also referred to as the Fairphone 6+ or 6 Plus). The device launches at a price of $649 (with one outlet listing $649.99) and is sold unlocked. Sales begin now, following the company’s earlier expansion to the US with audio products.
The Verge frames the launch as a significant step because it is Fairphone’s first phone sold directly in the US. TechCrunch and 9to5Google also report the same price point and emphasize US availability. Availability channels differ by outlet: TechCrunch highlights Amazon, while The Verge says the phone is offered through both Fairphone’s website and Amazon. The Verge adds that the unlocked phone supports both T-Mobile and AT&T, while describing the update as a minor hardware refresh.
Across the reports, the common points are the new US release, the $649 pricing, repairability positioning, and unlocked availability with major US carrier support.
