The Fairphone (Gen. 6): Getting hands-on with Fairphone’s latest model
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) is the most advanced smartphone we’ve ever made. Designed for you to truly own, inside and out, for as long as possible. But, just as importantly, it’s the most mindful: mindful of how you use it. Mindful of your time.
Best-in-class specs for best-in-class performance
If we want people to keep their phones for longer, their phones need to stay relevant. So we gave this one everything it needs to do exactly that.
- A Snapdragon® 7s Gen 3 processor from Qualcomm that is fast, powerful, and energy-efficient
- A 120Hz adaptive refresh LTPO OLED display — sharp, fluid, and gorgeous to look at
- 8GB DDR5 RAM with 256GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 2TB
It’s fast and smooth, with zero fuss, zero lag. The kind of performance that just works — whether you’re jumping between apps, editing photos, or getting through a full day of action on a single charge. This isn’t about overclocking, or headline-grabbing numbers. It’s about building a device that can handle today — and still feel fast years from now.
Long-lasting battery that goes almost two days
The 4415 mAh lithium-ion battery is more efficient too, going almost two full days on a single charge. Now that’s a phone with a long battery life. It’s more energy-dense, and faster to charge, reaching up to 50% in just 25 minutes. And yes, still replaceable. In under five minutes.
Let’s talk Fairphone software: Clean Android 15 with zero bloatware
On the software front, The Fairphone (Gen. 6) comes with Android 15 out of the box, with Google Gemini, the AI assistant from Google.
Designed to supercharge your creativity and productivity, Google Gemini can help you with a wide variety of tasks, from writing, image generation, planning, and more. You also have the option to switch it off if you don’t need it.
We recognize that in this day and age, data privacy is a legitimate concern. For our more privacy-minded customers, we will also be offering The Fairphone with Murena’s /e/OS as well. It’s all about choice. Keep what you need. Take out what you don’t.
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) Camera: Get the perfect shot every time
We focused on making the camera setup reliable, versatile, and powerful where it counts. You’re looking at
- A 50 megapixel main camera with a Sony Lytia 700C sensor
- A 13 megapixel ultra-wide lens for the bigger picture
- A 32 megapixel front camera with a Samsung KD1 sensor
The user interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to use: Shoot in HDR; go 4K; get really cinematic with super slow motion shots at 240 fps. The main camera sensor comes with a larger aperture to let more light in, which means low-light shots are brighter, more dynamic — and with a little help from smart AI processing, you’re looking at photos that always pop.
And if you want to really get into it, switch to Pro mode and shoot RAW images. The images are sharp. The colors are true. It doesn’t matter whether you’re shooting on the fly, or taking your time getting that perfect shot—the camera will do the heavy lifting.
On 20 June, 2025, the new EU guidelines about energy labels and eco-design requirements for smartphones and tablets officially came into effect. This is something we have always been pushing for at Fairphone, because we have been designing our products with impact in mind from the get-go. The new Fairphone (Gen. 6) is no different, scoring top marks on this new system with a perfect A. |
The Fairphone Gen. 6: Modular, durable, long-lasting
The Fairphone (Gen. 6) is built to last in every way. It’s tough and durable, made with scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 7i, and drop-tested from a height of 1.8 meters. It’s weatherproof with an IP55 rating, and comes with a five-year warranty, and software support through 2033. That’s at least eight years of updates, with seven Android upgrades included. On top of this, spare parts availability is guaranteed till 2033 (at least).
And then there’s our extremely easy-to-maintain modular design: the battery, the screen, the speaker, the cameras are all replaceable. This is expected from us by now. But we’ve taken modularity even further this time. Not just modular for repair, but modular for personalization.
Want a cardholder? A finger loop? A lanyard? You don’t need a bulky case or flimsy attachments. These accessories screw right in. They’re part of the phone — solid, seamless, designed for real life. This is modularity done with finesse.
Same philosophy, but now with better engineering, tighter tolerances, more fair materials than ever before, and a form factor that just feels… right.
It’s something we worked really hard on with this generation, making it smaller, more compact, and lighter in the hand. Our newest Fairphone is designed to take up less space in your life, physically and mentally. Which brings us to…
Fairphone Moments
Welcome to a simpler, more intentional version of your smartphone.
In a world that never stops, this gives you the ability to choose when to tune in, and when to tune out. Instead of lugging around a second device, experience two phones in one: The full power of Android 15 when you need it. And a more present, more intentional digital space… when you don’t. Whether you’re deep in work, spending time with loved ones, or just in need of a digital detox, Fairphone Moments helps you focus on what matters — and nothing else.
It’s not just a feature. It’s a mindset.
This is The Fairphone
Before wrapping up, let’s pause on something else—a small, but significant, change.
You may have noticed we’re calling it The Fairphone.
Not Fairphone 6. Not Fairphone X. Just: The Fairphone.
Yes, it’s technically the sixth generation. And yes, the generation tag is still there — for clarity. But this shift in naming marks something more intentional. It’s a phone designed to endure. A phone that is built to last. Not one that quietly becomes obsolete the moment the next number rolls around.
We wanted the name to reflect that.
One phone. One mission. Built to last.
