With International Repair Day right around the corner, we thought now would be the perfect time to show how easy it is to replace parts on your new Fairphone (Gen. 6). In case you missed it, the latest Fairphone model packs a performance boost with a Snapdragon® 7 Gen 3 processor, a rock-solid triple camera system with a 50MP main lens, and a 4415mAh battery that can easily last for two days. It still maintains the award-winning modular design that Fairphone is now known for. The new Fairphone allows you to replace up to 12 spare parts, including the battery, display, and USB-C port. How do you ask? Read on.
display replacement
Don’t miss anything, even in direct sunlight. Perfect for one-handed use, this compact 6.31-inch display always delivers vivid, true-to-life colors. The P-OLED display features an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, making watching movies and playing games super smooth. It’s also made of ultra-strong Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, so it can easily withstand a drop or two. Thanks to Fairphone’s modular design, swapping out a replacement for a new one is stress-free.
battery replacement
The replaceable 4415mAh lithium-ion battery is more compact than its predecessor but allows your phone to last much longer. You can use it even longer with a battery that lasts for almost two days and charges to 50% in just 20 minutes. Did you know that 100% of the cobalt used is protected by process cobalt credits? Would you like to install a new battery? It’s easy. Just open the back.
Upper unit replacement
The top unit is equipped with both a flash and a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. The flash also acts as a flashlight, and the ToF sensor is essential for photo and video post-processing. Sensors can also help with object recognition, which is useful for certain AI and AR features.
Camera and earpiece replacement
It has a high-quality 50MP main camera, AI-optimized low-light performance, an ultra-wide lens that puts everything in focus, and a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus for sharp portraits. Fairphone (6th generation) is designed to seamlessly and intuitively capture precious moments in vivid colors. Meanwhile, the earpiece ensures that all calls and voice messages are transmitted perfectly without noise or distortion.
USB-C port and speaker replacement
They are small components but very important. The loudspeaker is your Fairphone’s voice box, so if it’s not working properly, your Fairphone won’t sound right. The USB-C port allows your Fairphone to charge properly and transfer data at optimal speeds. However, compared to other parts of a mobile phone, the USB-C port is also the port that receives the most physical stress. Luckily, with Fairphone, you can replace both in minutes at a fraction of the cost of buying a new device.
