I want to get a new phone and I’m very much on the fence between Fairphone 6 and Nothing Phone 3… For me most important in a phone is battery life and quality of photos. However, since my current phone’s battery has severely declined recently, I’m also interested in having a phone where I can replace the battery. I definitely like the Fairphone’s whole idea of sustainability and fair working conditions, etc. My only worry with the Fairphone is the camera quality, my partner has a FP3 and the camera is really bad.
I would say probably the FP6 if you care about sustainability, fair materials and working conditions, etc. It also seems to be a solid phone with decent cameras and performance, though with a higher price than phones with equivalent specs due to the first point. The FP cameras have improved a lot since the 3, they seem very usable in the few reviews I’ve seen.
I will say that, since you care about both battery life and camera quality, you might want to check out the Xiaomi 15 if it’s available at a good price. I’m certain Xiaomi doesn’t have the fair working conditions and materials like FP does, and they definitely don’t aim to make their phones ultra-repairable.
