@turbowafflz, the price of the FairPhone 5 at launch was £649. ^1 Now it's £419. ^2 the price of the gen. 6 could go down.

P.S. you can still get the FairPhone 4.

This is the repairable phone, yes.

I'm guessing they won't make a feature phone because that industry isn't as wasteful as the smartphone industry.

I hope they make a fair tablet, but it'd better have good I/O. **There is no reason a medium-sized device intended for media consumption shouldn't have a headphone jack.**

IMHO, this alone makes the new model worthwhile. I can't believe they didn't mention this in the announcement video.

@JustJack23, that's basically the leaks, yes.

I think it was first reported in Dutch here: https://www.nieuwemobiel.nl/061607/25004/Fairphone-6-wordt-25-juni-2025-aangekondigd.html

And some more specs appeared in German here: https://winfuture.de/news,151563.html

 

I got an Email from Fairphone that gives credence to the recent leaks.
