The successor to the Fairphone 5 will be officially unveiled on June 25, 2025, as NieuweMobiel has learned. WinFuture has already published an initial image showing the mid-range smartphone in Horizon Black.

Alternatively, the Fairphone 6 will also be available in Cloud White and Forest Green. At least one variant is reportedly equipped with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash storage. The design has been greatly modernized, with the screen bezels being significantly narrower than on the Fairphone 5, while the frame will be flat. One of the buttons is designed in a contrasting color, which could be the slider that detaches the back from the body.

The back is said to consist of two halves in different colors. Cameras include a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle camera, but no telephoto camera. The focus of the Fairphone 6 is said to be on making repairs as easy as possible. Components such as the two rear cameras, the selfie camera, the speakers, the USB-C port, the display and the battery are reportedly modular, making replacement by end users relatively straightforward. Spare parts will be sold directly to consumers.

The modular, split back allows users to get creative with color combinations. WinFuture speculates that the frame of the Fairphone 6 will be made of plastic instead of metal, as no antenna bands are visible. The base model of the Fairphone 6 is expected to launch for a suggested retail price of €549.
