Fairphone and Boost Mobile Partner to Give More Americans a Phone That Lasts and the Best Value in Wireless

Boost Mobile has partnered with modular electronics leader Fairphone to bring the newly available Fairphone (Gen. 6+) to its network as the brand’s inaugural U.S. carrier partnership. Designed to champion the Right-to-Repair movement, the device gives consumers modular, easily repairable hardware that is truly built to last, with a five-year warranty and software support through 2033. Fairphone customers now have the option to pair with flexible nationwide mobile plans on Boost Mobile’s network.

• Fairphone: The pioneering brand known for modular, ethical, and sustainable consumer tech.
• Boost Mobile: Inaugural U.S. wireless carrier partner providing nationwide network support and service plans for the device.

The announcement comes as Fairphone grows in the midst of a global smartphone decline. Counterpoint Research reports that the memory shortage pushed the market into its first decline after nine consecutive quarters of growth in Q1, and global shipments then fell to their lowest second-quarter level since 2013. Fairphone, by contrast, reported a successful first half, with phone sales up 74% year over year and 48% growth in the second quarter alone. With higher device prices pushing replacement cycles toward four years, according to Counterpoint, more consumers are looking for phones made to last, and Fairphone is seeing it firsthand.

 

“For too long, US consumers have been captives of a system built on planned obsolescence and constant, expensive upgrades,” said Raymond van Eck, CEO of Fairphone. “The Fairphone (Gen. 6+) shatters that status quo, and just months after launch, the response has been incredible. We’re thrilled to team up with Boost Mobile to give more Americans access to a device built to be opened, repaired, and kept alive for years. While competitors ‘shrinkflate’ their new models, Fairphone is giving people more: power, features, and longevity. The Fairphone (Gen. 6+) simply makes sense.”

 

"At Boost Mobile, we strive to bring convenience to our customers and offer the latest devices that fit their needs and lifestyle,” said Bob Rupczynski, Boost Mobile Executive Vice President and Group President. “Fairphone represents a bold new way to think about premium hardware, giving users the freedom to swap out components. By pairing this modular device with Boost Mobile, we are truly putting the power back into the consumer's hands."

 

Key Takeaways:

• Official Carrier Partnership: Fairphone (Gen. 6+) users can pair their device directly with Boost Mobile plans, delivering nationwide 5G connectivity for the modular device.
• Performance & Longevity: Equipped with 12GB RAM, a Snapdragon® 7s Gen 4 mobile platform, Android 16, and backed by software support through 2033 alongside an industry-leading 5-year warranty.
• Modular Architecture: Features 12 user-replaceable parts, enabling straightforward self-repair to counter planned obsolescence.
• Design and Availability: Offered in Cobalt Blue, Forest Green, and Horizon Black. Available unlocked via Fairphone.com and Amazon, with carrier activation options now also available directly through Boost Mobile.
