Leaked images and specs suggest that the Fairphone 6 Plus will feature significant hardware upgrades, including a new Snapdragon processor, increased RAM, and improved camera system, while maintaining its core focus on repairability and sustainability.
A new leak has put the Fairphone 6 Plus back in the spotlight, with TugaTech reporting that Android Authority has obtained images and specifications suggesting a more capable version of the repair-focused handset. The new model appears to stay close to Fairphone’s modular design language while updating the core hardware in ways that matter most for performance and longevity.
The biggest reported changes are under the bonnet. Whereas the standard Fairphone 6 is described by Notebookcheck and CNX Software as using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and Android 15, the leaked Fairphone 6 Plus is said to move to Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, 12GB of RAM and Android 16. If accurate, that would mark a clear step up for a phone whose main appeal has always been practical repairability rather than headline-grabbing specifications.
The rest of the specification sheet, according to the leak, remains firmly in mid-range territory. TugaTech says the phone keeps a 6.31-inch pOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, an adaptive refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz, Gorilla Glass 7i protection and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage with microSD expansion. Camera hardware is also said to include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700C main sensor with optical image stabilisation, a 13-megapixel ultrawide and macro lens and a 32-megapixel front camera. The battery is listed at 4,415mAh with 30W charging, alongside 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB-C 2.0, an IP55 rating and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The design is reported to remain familiar, with a new Cobalt Blue finish joining Horizon Black and Forest Green, while accessories such as a protective case, card holder and finger strap are said to be part of the launch lineup. TugaTech says the price is expected to be €649, matching the original launch price of the previous model. That would place the new phone above the standard Fairphone 6, which had been reported at €599 for the Android 15 version in Europe, or €649 with e/OS, and would reinforce Fairphone’s strategy of selling a premium for a device designed to be opened, repaired and kept in service for years rather than replaced quickly.
