Remember when you could pop open a phone, swap the battery, and keep going? Fairphone remembers. Their latest release, the Fairphone 6, feels like a nostalgic nod to sanity, with plenty of modern upgrades.
This is a phone that puts people and planet before profits. Sure, it doesn’t have the camera chops to take on a flagship, and USB-2 feels a bit retro in 2025, but what it lacks in bragging rights, it makes up for in staying power.
USB 2.0 doesn’t support connecting an external display. It’s a real handy feature that the FP 4 and 5 has. Full desktop Linux on a phone. Very cool.
wait so… the newest model regressed a feature like this?
Unfortunately, that is correct. I’ve cancelled my preorder. Maybe they’ll nail it next round.
