Fairphone has struck its first US carrier deal, with Boost Mobile now officially supporting the Gen 6 Plus. The $649.99 phone, previously sold unlocked via Fairphone's website and Amazon since August, features a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a five-year warranty with software updates promised through 2033.
Fairphone has launched the Gen 6 Plus, an Android phone stripped of manufacturer bloat and carrier apps, shipping only with Google-mandated software and a companion tool called My Fairphone. The device also supports an easy switch to /e/OS, an open-source Android fork that removes Google services entirely for users wanting maximum data privacy.
Fairphone has begun selling its Gen 6 Plus directly in the US for the first time, rather than through Murena, running standard Google Android. Priced at $649, the phone lets owners replace up to 12 parts—including the battery, display, cameras, and USB-C port—using just a screwdriver. In a reader poll of over 1,500 responses, 91.5% called the device appealing despite its modest spec upgrades over the base Gen 6.
