    Expert ReviewsHands-on review · 2026

    A solid repairable phone with long software support, but only a modest upgrade over the Fairphone 6 and pricey for its hardware.

    TechRadarHands-on review · 2026

    A decent eco-friendly phone now available in the US, though the cheaper Fairphone 6 is nearly as good.

    The VergeHands-on review · 2026

    A middling-but-capable Android phone that finally pairs ethical, repairable design with few trade-offs, making it a smart buy.

    A capable, sturdy mid-range phone with a lovely OLED screen and strong repairability, though not exceptional.

    Trusted ReviewsHands-on review · 2026

    A repairability champion with a bright screen and long support, but performance trails similarly priced rivals and it lacks a telephoto lens.

    Tom's GuideHands-on review · 2026

    Succeeds for buyers who value repairability and longevity, but weak performance, bland design and a higher price than rivals give pause.
