Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability
Briefly

The Fairphone 6 is smaller and modular, retaining repairability and scoring 10/10 in iFixit's teardown, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It requires only a T5 Torx screwdriver for repairs, with seven screws for battery swaps. Fairphone guarantees seven years of Android updates and eight years of security patches, in addition to a five-year warranty. However, the Fairphone 6 sacrifices specifications for its design, featuring a basic dual rear camera and a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 chipset. Its pricing is approximately €599 in Europe.
