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."

New Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 details leak, and there's a Classic surprise
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Quick Summary More information has leaked about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 range. That includes colour options and sizing information. When it comes to the wonderful world of smartwatches, Samsung is one of the most recognisable names out there. The brand has been producing killer devices for years, making its watches a top pick for millions of users. With another launch event expected to take place in July, rumours have already been swirling about the new watches in its lineup. That's the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 range, for reference, and is expected to include at least a base model and a Classic variant. Now, new information has emerged about the range, which could shed extra light on what to expect. The news comes from Roland Quandt at WinFuture – an online tipster with a solid track record when it comes to sharing details about upcoming products. The report suggests a Classic variant is coming, expected in two shades – white and black. It goes on to discuss the base model Galaxy Watch 8, which mentions graphite and silver colour options, and also comes in two sizes – 40mm and 44mm. The omission of any sizing information about the Classic variant has led some to suggest that the model will only be available in one size. There's certainly no guarantee of that, though it would make sense in context. Whether or not that ends up as a bad thing will really come down to sizing. On the whole, smartwatch brands tend to make use of some fairly large cases sizes, on account of the need for screen real estate. While that makes sense, it also makes them comically large, which can be a dealbreaker for certain wrists. It's tough to please everyone, but it's even harder when you're limiting the options on offer. Still, with more information expected in July, there isn't too long to wait for confirmation. We'll be keeping a close eye on the launch, as well as any further rumours emerging in the coming weeks.

Fairphone 6 leak reveals more modular design
The Fairphone 6 will launch this month with a more modular design according to leaked details obtained by WinFuture. Alongside Fairphone's usual repair-friendly build, the new device will seemingly support interchangeable accessories such as a card holder, lanyard, and ring grip. That sounds similar to the modular accessories on the CMF Phone 1 and Phone Pro 2 by Nothing, which support screw-on lanyards, wallets, and kickstands. WinFuture reports that the Fairphone 6 will also have a two-part rear cover split into upper and lower sections, allowing owners to mix and match colors along with the accessories, with black, white, and green among the launch options. Dutch site NieuweMobiel reports that the phone will launch on June 25th, and offer 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Much like previous Fairphone models, it will be user-repairable, with replacement parts available for the earpiece, speaker, USB-C port, display, battery, and three camera lenses. When it arrives, it's expected to cost €549.99 (around $625), a substantial drop from 2023's €699 ($800) Fairphone 5. That phone never launched in the US, so we'll have to hope that changes this time around.

Fairphone 6 leaks ahead of launch
There's a new Fairphone device in the works and WinFuture shared our first look at it. Fairphone 6, which is expected to launch on June 25, is shown in its Horizon Black color. This will be one of the three available color options alongside Cloud White and Forest Green. The device appears to have a flat frame instead of the rounded one on its predecessor and a bright yellow button on the right-hand side. It remains to be seen if this is the volume slider or an entirely different key. The bezels surrounding the screen appear slimmer too and we can see the device will once again sport a punch-hole cutout for the selfie cam. Fairphone 6 in Horizon Black (image: WinFuture) Although we don't get a proper look at the back of the upcoming device, the new report suggests Fairphone 6 will feature an updated modular back design consisting of an 'upper' and 'lower' part with contrasting colors. The new device is expected to feature a plastic frame and back and a series of new interchangeable accessories that attach to its back. These include a card holder, a lanyard, and a ring for easier one-handed use. Fairphone 6 is expected to feature main (wide) and secondary (ultrawide) cameras. In usual Fairphone fashion, most of the key components like the display, camera sensors, speakers, microphones, and charging port will be user-replaceable. Fairphone 6 will be available with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage and is said to retail for €549. Source (in German)
