The upcoming Fairphone 6 is set to redefine sustainable smartphone design with its enhanced modular capabilities, according to recent leaks. Industry insiders reveal the device will feature interchangeable accessories like card holders, lanyards, and ring grips, building on the brand’s reputation for repairable technology. This approach mirrors Nothing’s CMF Phone series, which popularized screw-on modular attachments for added functionality.
Sources indicate the Fairphone 6 will introduce a two-part rear cover, enabling users to customize colors between upper and lower sections. Early reports suggest black, white, and green will be available at launch. The device is expected to debut on June 25th, packing 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage—a competitive configuration for eco-conscious consumers.
True to Fairphone’s ethos, the smartphone remains highly repairable, with easily replaceable components including the earpiece, speakers, USB-C port, display, battery, and triple-camera setup. Pricing is projected at €549.99 (approximately $625), marking a notable reduction from its predecessor. While the Fairphone 5 never reached U.S. markets, enthusiasts are hopeful this model will break that trend, bringing sustainable tech to a wider audience.
