What this status means for Fairphone (Gen. 6+)
Manufacturer support commitment through at least 2033. The published year is retained without inventing a calendar cutoff or a last-ever patch date.
What this Fairphone (Gen. 6+) record covers
Listed model identifiers: FP6. Listing an identifier does not establish shared lifecycle coverage.
Recorded model and region: FP6; Europe. Apply each support date, firmware release or repair fact only to the identifiers and regions named in its cited source.
The marketed identity is recorded separately from any verified regional hardware code; missing fields are not evidence that a similar model shares the same support. The release-to-support interval is not calculated because no approved future security-support end date is available.
EPREL repair and battery evidence is attached only to the exact approved registration for this record, including 1,000 rated battery cycles and 3,038 minutes of labelled endurance. It remains separate from iFixit and manufacturer schemes.
Support timeline
Sale and cloud-service evidence
- End of sale
- Not documented · Official source reviewed; date not publishedReviewed 2026-09-04 against Fairphone's cited lifecycle record. It does not publish a separate model-specific end-of-sale date for this record; the date remains undocumented and is not inferred from software-support end.
- Cloud-service end
- Not documented · No reviewed date
“Not documented” means DevLifeCheck has no approved value for this field. A lifecycle-policy review never authorizes copying or inferring a firmware version or another lifecycle date.

- Europe
This record is not a universal “global variant.” Match the model number, sales market and carrier before applying a date to your phone. A materially different variant must receive its own reviewed lifecycle evidence.
How the support date was determined

Evidence scope: Europe. A public device-codename build does not prove that every retail model, carrier or region received it on the same date.
Recall and safety screening
DevLifeCheck monitors CPSC, Safety Gate, UK OPSS, Health Canada. A monitored feed is not itself a “no recall” finding; dated device-specific results are listed separately below.
No exact marketed-name or model-code match found in the CPSC recall dataset as of 2026-09-04. This US-only name screening is not proof that no recall exists; check the exact model, carrier and local regulator.
