Fairphone 6+ and Motorola Edge 50 Ultra tie on the OH Rank at a score of 61. Fairphone 6+ wins on Battery and Video; Motorola Edge 50 Ultra wins on Performance and Screen. Fairphone 6+ is 0.9mm wider than Motorola Edge 50 Ultra. 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: Motorola's 2024 Top phone illustrates what the brand is really known for: creative approach, darring to stand out but also somewhat confusing global policy that keeps many markets without access to these great phones. Edge 50 Ultra comes with a vegan leather (polycarbonate) or a wooden (bamboo based) back. It has a 8s Gen 3 processor, tons of fast storage, great screen and respectable battery endurance with fast charging. As expected, the desktop replacement software is on board that makes this great phone the only computer you may have.
Both phones here were scored by me, using the same ten categories, with no ads, sponsorships, or manufacturer relationships — this comparison is as objective and honest as it gets.
