The smallest Fairphone 6 has swapple accessories

Fairphone announced its latest reparable smartphone, almost Two years after the introduction of the last upgrade. The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and 9% lighter than its predecessor, but it includes a larger 4,415 mAh battery – easily replaced by removing only seven screws – which will feed the phone up to 53 hours on a full load. It is also more modular than the previous versions, with new accessories such as a card support and a finger loop that can be attached to the back of the phone.

Fairphone 6 is now available via the online store of the company and other European retailers for € 599 (around $ 696). There are black, green and white color options. But as with previous versions dating from Fairphone 3, the new model will only be available in the United States FoamAnd delivery is expected during the month of August. Instead of running Android standard, the Murerena version of the Fairphone 6 will include a Confidentiality and uprooted version Android that the Calls of the company / E / OS. It is available for pre -order now for $ 899.

The Fairphone 6 has a Snapdragon 7S Gen 3, 8 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage mobile processor which is extendable up to 2 TBs using an SDXC card. It also has a 6.31 inch LTPO OLED screen which is slightly smaller than the 6.46 -inch screen of Fairphone 5, but with a cooling rate from 90 Hz to 120 Hz.

At the rear, you will find a 50 MP main camera and an ultrawid 13MP camera, while the front has a 32 Mp punch camera for selfies and video calls. This is an important step compared to Fairphone 5, which used 50 Mp sensors on its three cameras.

The physical design of the Fairphone 6 is similar to the previous model, although the lenses at the rear are no longer located on a small camera bump and rather sit on the rear panel. This panel is more modular now, allowing the lower section to be removed using only two screws and replaced by alternatives that add more features, such as a portfolio for support cards or a finger loop to keep the phone more safe with one hand. The idea is similar to the swapple accessories that nothing offers for its CMF 1 phone And Pro phone 2But to what extent it will be useful depends on the number of accessories that Fairphone makes available.

Repair is always a priority for Fairphone, and its new phone advances the same modular design of past versions. The modular aspect allows you to access and exchange 12 different parts – including the screen, the battery and the USB port – using a single standard screwdriver instead of specialized tools.

To further prolong the lifespan of Fairphone 6, the company includes a five -year warranty and promises eight years of software support until 2033. But the disadvantage of not having everything inside the phone in place and tight is that the Fairphone 6 always has a limited IP55 note for resistance to dust and water. It can be splashed or even energized with a jet of water, but it will not survive an accidental submersion.

Aside from performance improvements and new modular accessories, Fairphone seems to remain the course with its latest smartphone, but it introduces a new additional feature side: Fairphone Moments. Activated by a physical switch on the side of the phone, it will allow you to “switch between a complete smartphone and a minimalist experience”.

We do not know exactly what the moments of Fairphone will minimize, but as the company describes it as “a means aware of engaging with technology, which puts the owners in control, not their notifications,” it looks like an alternative mode that reduces distractions so that you can focus on specific tasks.
