Ethics-focused phone makers Fairphone and Murena have unveiled their latest collaboration: the Murena Fairphone (Gen 6), a smartphone that pairs repairable hardware with privacy-focused software.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The release coincides with the launch of the Fairphone 6, which runs on Android. The Murena edition swaps Google\u2019s ecosystem for \/e\/OS, an open-source operating system designed to minimise data collection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new device builds on the foundation laid by the Murena Fairphone 5, which promised a 10-year lifespan and a higher bar for sustainable electronics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gen 6 model introduces a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, offering superior performance to the previous chip, <\/span>Qualcomm\u2019s QCM6490. <\/span>The new model comes with a similar specced trip<\/a>le 50MP dual camera system. Its battery, though, is smaller and lasts longer. It\u2019s also fitted with tougher Gorilla Glass 7i to protect the LCD display. Overall, the new version is 9% lighter than before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As with the previous model, users can replace individual parts using just a screwdriver. The number of parts you can chop and change has increased from 10 to 12, including <\/span>the screen, USB-C port, and speakers.<\/span> The smartphone comes with a five-year warranty, but the companies still hedge their bets that the device will last 10 years or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Netherlands-based Fairphone <\/span>focuses<\/span> on the environmental and social<\/a> costs of hardware by sourcing conflict-free materials and building its devices to last as long as possible. Meanwhile, France\u2019s Murena builds operating systems and smartphones \u2014 one of which <\/span>we tested<\/span> for ourselves \u2014 that offer a more private alternative to Apple or Android.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Murena\u2019s \u201cdeGoogled\u201d \/e\/OS strips out Google services and trackers, replacing them with its own apps for email, calendar, and cloud storage. A recent 3.0 software update added new privacy tools, end-to-end encryption, and enhanced parental controls, the company said.<\/span><\/p>\n

This marks the fourth time the two companies have partnered, dating back to the Fairphone 3 in 2020 \u2014 a model that Murena still supports with software updates.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud of our collaboration with Murena,\u201d said Fairphone CEO Raymond van Eck. \u201cTogether, we\u2019re giving people a phone they can truly feel good about using \u2014 inside and out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Murena Fairphone (Gen 6) is available from today in the UK, EU, and several other European markets via <\/span>Murena.com<\/span><\/a> at a starting price of <\/span>\u20ac649<\/span>. US customers can pre-order now, with deliveries starting in August.<\/span><\/p>\n
