Fairphone 6+ and Motorola Edge 50 Neo tie on the OH Rank at a score of 61. Fairphone 6+ wins on Performance and Battery; Motorola Edge 50 Neo wins on Screen and IP Protection. Fairphone 6+ is 2.1mm wider than Motorola Edge 50 Neo. Fairphone 6+ is the more recent release, from Aug 18, 2026.
EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectation of processor, memory, battery, charging and imaging performance) So unique that it is hard to compare to any other phone, Fairphone 6+ is a re-package of Fairphone (2025): same incredibly repairable build, processor, battery, screen, cameras and memory expansion slot. OS update promise went from 8 to (still respectable) 5, only RAM went from 8GB to 12GB driving up the price too.
EDITORIAL: The 2024 wouldn't be the same without this excellent compact midranger. It's plastic frame with a vegan leather back comes with IP68 water and dust protection as well as Military grade impact and temp protection. Colors are cool as well - Motorola has been working with Pantene to create beautiful and very unique handsets. The phone may be "low powered" but you won't notice it in daily use - Mediatec 7300 is a good midrange processor supporting efficient battery life - close to a full day (24 hours) of use. Charging is decent, even has a 15W wireless option. Good cameras include a 3x zoom lense and a AF ultrawide one while the main camera is a pleasure to use, day or night. 5 years of OS updates and yes - Motorola's good desktop replacement software is there, wired or wireless!
