The Fairphone 6 leaks ahead of its rumored late June launch
The Fairphone 6 is widely expected to get an official unveiling in the next week but the leadup to the repairable smartphone's launch has been leakier than a bad tap. In a new report from WinFuture , purported images of the Fairphone 6 show that it'll feature two back covers: one for the main body covering the cameras, and a lower panel that can be easily removed by loosening a few visible screws. Doing so grants access to the battery, which WinFuture notes is not glued down, though swapping it out will require you to remove a few additional screws. The back plates are available in three different colors – black green and white – which you're free to mix and match with to give the phone a more personalized look. This being a Fairphone product, the battery unsurprisingly isn't the only removable component. If you know what you're doing, you can also replace the 50- and 13-megapixel main cameras and the 32–megapixel front-facing camera, as well as the display, speaker and USB-C charging port. In terms of specs, the Fairphone 6 is fairly unremarkable, but you'd expect it to be at the rumored €550 (around $630) price point it'll reportedly retail at. As well as the aforementioned trio of lenses, it'll reportedly have a 6.31-inch 120Hz display, 256GB of internal storage (expandable via a MicroSDXC slot), 8GB of RAM and a 4,415mAh battery. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3, so we're firmly in mid-range territory. The Fairphone 6's expected IP55 rating for water and dust resistance means it'll comfortably withstand a bit of rain, but likely won't take well to a dunk in the bath. Of its predecessor, the Fairphone 5 , released (though not in the US) in 2023, Engadget's Daniel Cooper said: "If you're looking to pick up a mid-range handset that you can keep going for twice as long as any other phone on the market, and you want to do a bit of good in the process, this is probably the phone for you. It's not often the view from the moral high ground is this comfortable."

Fairphone 6 in Forest Green The Fairphone 6 has an easily removable lower back cover which makes the battery accessible for quick removal - although this isn't glued, you will have to remove some screws to get it out. Other components that are easy to replace include all three cameras, the display, and the module housing the speaker and USB port at the bottom. Interestingly, you'll be able to order a lower back cover in whatever color you want, so you could pair a white phone with a green cover or something like that if you wanted.

The ultimate modular smartphone is also a decent mid-ranger
Fairphone, the Dutch company that specializes in making modular phones and components for its devices, is about to launch its sixth phone later this month. The upcoming Fairphone 6 is pushing the modular aspect a bit further by including a fully customizable back cover, allowing customers to personalize their phones the way they before that happens, we have to talk a little bit about its specs because Roland Quandt from has just leaked this very important piece of information. Now, before anyone gets too excited, Fairphone 6 is not a flagship device, and it was never meant to can be said about Fairphone 6 is that it's a pretty 'fair' mid-ranger. For starters, the handset sports a 6.31-inch LTPO-based P-OLED display that features 1-120Hz dynamic refresh rate and 2484 x 1116 pixels resolution (432 ppi pixel density). Fairphone also added Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for maximum screen the inside, the Fairphone 6 houses a mid-range, albeit old, Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 2TB via microSD card upgraded the battery, but not by much. Its upcoming phone is powered by a 4,415 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging speeds. In comparison, Fairphone 5 uses a slightly smaller 4,200 mAh battery with 30W wired charging support. Fairphone 6 brings some upgrades over its predecessor | Image credit: As far as the camera goes, Fairphone 6 is said to feature a dual-camera setup, which includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with f/1.56 aperture, complemented by a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with 120-degree field of view. There's also a 32-megapixel selfie snapper on the front side. For the sake of comparison, the previous model, Fairphone 5, has two 50-megapixel cameras on the back and one 50-megapixel camera on the front, so it seems that Fairphone 6 got a bit of a downgrade, although the quality of its cameras is said to be higher. Fairphone 6 will ship with Android 15 on board, but the Dutch company is expected to provide six or seven years of OS updates, so this isn't that important. What's important is how much it will cost and when you'll be able to order one. Well, according to Fairphone 6 is expected to be introduced in Europe on June 25. The phone will cost €550, a fair price for a rather niche product. Obviously, you can find older flagships at this price, but if you want a truly modular phone that allows you to change just about every component, this is the price you'll have to pay.
