Fairphone Opens $650 Gen 6+ US Sales on Amazon, Cutting Prior $900 Murena Route

Summary
$650 Fairphone Gen 6+ is now available directly to U.S. buyers through Amazon and Fairphone, ending the workarounds that previously forced customers to buy through Murena.
The shift also makes it Fairphone's first new U.S. release with full Android and carrier support on AT&T and T-Mobile, broadening its appeal beyond niche privacy-focused buyers.
Repairability remains the main selling point: owners can replace up to 12 parts with a screwdriver, with spare parts priced from $7.99 for a SIM tray to $89.99 for a screen.
The main hardware change from last year's model is a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip with 12GB of RAM; other specs largely stay the same, including a 6.31-inch OLED display, 256GB storage and a 4,415mAh battery.
Direct U.S. sales lower the entry price from roughly $900 for last year's Murena-sold version, testing whether easier access can expand demand for Fairphone's long-life, repair-first approach.
