Boost Mobile begins selling the repairable Fairphone 6 Plus on monthly plans

Fairphone has partnered with Boost Mobile to sell its modular Fairphone 6 Plus on monthly network plans in the United States. While the device debuted in August across Europe and the US, American customers previously had to pay its full $649.99 retail price upfront. The new partnership lets buyers spread out the cost while connecting to a carrier network with over seven million subscribers. [2][3]

The smartphone runs Android 16 on a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 processor with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a microSD card slot, and a 4,415mAh battery. It also features a 6.31-inch 120Hz display, a 50MP main camera, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 32MP front sensor, available in Cobalt Blue, Forest Green, and Horizon Black. [2]

Fairphone CEO Raymond van Eck stated that the partnership aims to offer Americans an alternative to planned obsolescence and frequent upgrades. Breaking the device's price tag into regular payments could broaden its reach in a carrier-dominated market where its specs might otherwise seem expensive for the cost. [2]
