Fairphone 6 goes official with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and a modular, repair-friendly design

Fairphone has officially launched its next sustainability-focused smartphone — the Fairphone 6. It follows the company’s core principles: fair labor, repairability, longer support, and e-waste neutrality. The modular phone brings improvements in design, performance, and durability while keeping its core philosophy intact. This article will discuss everything about the latest Fairphone 6, including its specifications, expected price in Nepal and availability.

Fairphone 6 Overview

Core Philosophy and Sustainability

The Fairphone 6 continues the brand’s mission toward ethical tech. It's assembled under fair labor standards, is e-waste neutral, and offers a 5-year warranty. With 8 years of software updates promised and a modular design, the phone lets users swap out parts easily with video tutorials and spare modules.

Build and Durability

It uses a matte composite material and is 19g lighter than the Fairphone 5. The phone is IP55-rated, drop resistant up to 1.5m, and has a durable modular structure.

Display and Camera Setup

There’s a 6.31-inch Full HD+ LTPO OLED display with adaptive 10–120Hz refresh rate and 1400 nits peak brightness. It’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. For selfies, it has a 32MP front camera. On the back, the phone features a 50MP Sony Lytia 700C primary sensor with OIS and a 13MP ultrawide lens.

Performance and Software

Powering the device is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, expandable via microSDXC. You get two software options — stock Android 15 or /e/OS, which skips all Google services. It houses a 4,415mAh battery with support for 30W wired charging. Not the biggest, but manageable for daily use.
