Fairphone's repairable phone now available in US

Dutch company Fairphone has made its new Gen 6+ smartphone available in the United States. The company is known for its commitment to phone repairability and ethical manufacturing, and the new model continues this approach.

The Fairphone Gen 6+ is designed to be easily disassembled and repaired with simple tools, such as a single screwdriver. This contrasts with many modern smartphones, which are often difficult and expensive to repair. The company offers a comprehensive range of spare parts and accessories, enabling users to extend the phone's lifespan.

The device's technical specifications are not aimed at competing with high-end market flagships, as the primary focus is on durability and responsible production. Half of the phone's materials are recycled, and workers are paid a fair wage. The device also includes a microSD card slot, a feature becoming increasingly rare.

The US launch expands Fairphone's reach, as the company seeks to provide consumers with an alternative that emphasizes longevity and environmental responsibility in the smartphone market.
