With the Fairphone 6, the Dutch company Fairphone is launching a new model on the market that combines technical performance and consistent sustainability. The sixth generation of the modular smartphone was officially presented in Amsterdam and is one of the most advanced and durable devices in its class. In addition to a powerful processor, a high-quality camera system and a robust design, the Fairphone 6 offers a clear vision: technology should not only be useful, but also fair and future-proof.
- Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 ensures strong performance with low energy consumption
- 50 MP camera with Sony Lytia sensor for detailed day and night shots
- 120Hz OLED display with Gorilla Glass 7i in a compact, robust housing
- Modular design with 12 interchangeable components and five-year warranty
Strong performance meets consistent durability
Inside the Fairphone 6 is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 Mobile Platform, which ensures a responsive user experience – whether multitasking, gaming or taking photos. The computing power is supported by an OLED display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, which not only guarantees smooth displays but also high energy efficiency. The Gorilla Glass 7i reliably protects the screen from scratches and impacts, while the device has been tested to military drop standards and meets the IP55 protection class – solid protection against dust and heavy rain.
The 50-megapixel main camera uses the Sony Lytia 700C sensor, which delivers realistic colors and razor-sharp details in different lighting conditions. The battery life is also impressive: with a capacity that offers almost two full days of use, the Fairphone 6 is well above the average of current Android devices. As usual with Fairphone, the battery can be replaced in just a few simple steps, which significantly increases both the service life and suitability for everyday use.
One highlight is the software support until 2033 – a rarity even in the premium segment. This makes the Fairphone 6 one of the most future-proof Android smartphones on the market.
Modularity consistently taken further
As with the previous models, the modular design remains a central element. The device consists of twelve separately replaceable modules, including the display, camera, battery, speaker and USB-C port. They can be replaced with just a standard screwdriver – without any special tools or specialist knowledge. This principle makes repairs simple and affordable, extends the service life and significantly reduces electronic waste.
A new feature is the optional extension with integrated accessories that can be quickly attached via a removable back cover with just two screws. Whether finger loop, lanyard or card holder – Fairphone pursues a user-centered approach that combines flexibility and suitability for everyday use.
Another innovative feature is the “Fairphone Moments” mode. A physical switch can be used to put the smartphone into a reduced operating mode if desired. This deactivates the full range of functions and only provides minimalist basic features such as the clock or camera – ideal for more focus, conscious breaks or digital detox. Fairphone thus creates a balance between modern technology and mindful use.
Conclusion: Fairphone 6 sets new standards for sustainable smartphones
With the Fairphone 6, the company has achieved a convincing combination of powerful hardware, intelligent modularity and a clear commitment to sustainability. With its long software support, robust design and flexible usage options, the device offers more than just technical innovation – it is a statement for conscious consumption.
Availability and price: The Fairphone 6 is available immediately in various colors, the price is 599 euros (RRP).
