Unfortunately, as has been the case with previous models, Fairphone doesn&#8217;t officially sell the phone in North America. Nevertheless, there&#8217;s a way for those in the US who want to get their hands on Fairphone&#8217;s smartphones.&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Just like previous iterations of the Fairphone, the Fairphone 6 is available in the US through Murena, the company known for selling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Pixel-Tablet-without-Google-Murena-customizes-Pixel-Tablet-with-e-OS-and-privacy-focus.964142.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">de-Googled versions<\/a> of select Android smartphones and tablets. This means the version of the Fairphone 6 available through the retailer will ship with e\/OS\/ just like the version of the Pixel Tablet (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aw\/d\/B0C1SLD1PK\/?tag=nbcnewsnet-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">available on Amazon for $499 with Speaker Dock<\/a>) it announced earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/fileadmin\/Notebooks\/News\/_nc4\/Fairphone-6.jpg\" title=\"Murena&#039;s Fairphone 6 doesn&#039;t come with Google apps and services like the version sold in Europe.

(Image source: Fairphone)<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The Fairphone 6, or Murena Fairphone (Gen. 6) as the product page says, is available to purchase from Murena for $899. This is significantly more expensive than the \u20ac649 (~$765) price tag of the e\/OS\/ version sold in Europe and the\u00a0\u20ac599 (~$706) price of the standard Android version. The\u00a0Murena Fairphone (Gen. 6) is carrier-unlocked and the product listing specifically mentions that the phone is compatible with T-Mobile and its MVNOs, but doesn&#8217;t work with Verizon. &#13;<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Murena has the Fairphone 6 in Cloud White, Forest Green, and Horizon Black, and it will begin shipping in August. The Murena Fairphone (Gen. 6) will have a 5-year warranty which includes the standard 2-year warranty and the extension that is offered by Fairphone. Unfortunately, as at the time of writing, Murena doesn&#8217;t have any parts available for the Fairphone 6, but that might change considering it sells parts for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Fairphone-4-smartphone-review-5G-phone-with-environmental-focus.597274.0.html\" target=\"_self\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairphone 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=354\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/csm_habeebonawole_bf7db1bb36.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Habeeb Onawole\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebookcheck-Team.212978.0.html?&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Bmode%5D=show&amp;tx_nbc2journalist_pi1%5Buid%5D=354\" class=\"j_name\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Habeeb Onawole<\/a> &#8211; Magazine Writer  &#8211; 720 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2023<\/p>\n<p>I love writing about consumer technology and have written thousands of articles that help people make informed decisions or get the best out of their devices.
