Fairphone Gen 6+ with e OS: De-Googled Modular Phone at €699
Fairphone has launched the Gen 6+ paired with Murena's /e/OS, a de-Googled Android alternative priced at €699 / £599 / $699 and available now in Europe with a back-order in the US. The mid-cycle refresh bumps RAM to 12 GB and adds the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, while retaining the modular chassis that lets you swap 12 components with a single screwdriver. /e/OS V4 ships out of the box, replacing Google's ecosystem with Murena's cloud suite, App Lounge, and a five-year warranty that extends support through at least 2033. It's a notably pricey commitment for a mid-tier chipset, but the combination of ethical sourcing, repairability, and a turnkey privacy-first OS makes it one of the few mainstream smartphones actually designed to outlive its owner.
