TL;DR

• Fairphone has entered the US, debuting with its repairable headphones.
• The company says it’s preparing to launch a phone in the market too, which will likely be the Fairphone Gen 6.
• Fairphone handsets are currently available in the US via distribution partner Murena, albeit with a Google-free Android skin.

The US isn’t exactly the most competitive smartphone market in the world, largely due to a dearth of manufacturers in the country. Nothing is the most recent entrant in the market, but another brand has just announced its own entry.

Fairphone has confirmed to Reuters that it has entered the US market. The company isn’t debuting with its Fairphone smartphones, though, as it’s choosing to launch the Fairbuds XL repairable headphones as its first product in the country. This will be sold in the US as part of a partnership with Amazon.
