Fairphone 6+ Specs Leak With Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 and 12GB RAM at €650

Summary

  • Fairphone’s next handset appears to be the Fairphone 6+, with leaked renders and specs showing a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
  • 6.31-inch display details point to a 1116p panel with 10-120Hz variable refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 7i, while the phone reportedly keeps the modular back design of the Fairphone 6.
  • 157 x 73 x 9.6 mm dimensions and a 191-gram weight suggest accessory modules may stay compatible with the previous generation; the 4,415 mAh battery and main cameras are also said to be unchanged.
  • €650 pricing would put the 6+ about €50 above the Fairphone 6, indicating Fairphone is charging mainly for the processor and memory upgrade rather than a broader hardware redesign.
  • That limited refresh still fits Fairphone’s pitch: long software support, easy user repairs and a sustainability-focused design that differentiates it from mainstream rivals.
