Fairphone has officially unveiled its latest eco-friendly flagship, the Fairphone 6 (known formally as ‘The Fairphone’), and while the device is more modular, more repairable, and quite frankly more Fairphone than ever before, from a design standpoint, it certainly looks a lot more conventional than its predecessors.
I say that as a compliment. With this new model, Fairphone has done away with the rounded sides of the Fairphone 4 and Fairphone 5 and replaced them with flat sides à la the iPhone 16e and Samsung Galaxy S25. The three-lens camera array remains, but these lenses now sit independently of a physical module, not unlike the lenses on – you guessed it! – the iPhone 16e and Samsung Galaxy S25.
