Fortunately, there\u2019s finally some good news. A new leak suggests that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/fairphone-6-3418713\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairphone 6<\/a> may be right around the corner, and it could feature an updated modular design with support for interchangeable accessories.<\/p>\n<p>The Fairphone 6 could launch on June 25, according to retail data sourced by Dutch publication <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nieuwemobiel.nl\/061607\/25004\/Fairphone-6-wordt-25-juni-2025-aangekondigd.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nieuwe Mobiel<\/a>. The device will reportedly be available in a single 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/winfuture.de\/news,151402.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WinFuture<\/a> adding that Fairphone will offer it in three colors: Horizon Black, Cloud White, and Forest Green.<\/p>\n<p>Although we don\u2019t have more details about the Fairphone 6\u2019s internal hardware, WinFuture has shared an image of its front profile and revealed that it could feature a modular two-part back panel. This new back panel could be somewhat similar to what we\u2019ve seen on the CMF Phone 1, and allow users to easily switch to a different color back panel or utilize its two-part design to give the phone a dual-tone look.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Mg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Fairphone 6 leaked image on white background\"  alt=\"Fairphone 6 leaked image on white background\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Fairphone-6-leaked-image-on-white-background.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The modular back panel will also support accessories like a card holder, a lanyard, or a ring to make holding the device easier. We don\u2019t have a clear idea of the mounting mechanism for these accessories, as the image doesn\u2019t showcase the phone\u2019s back panel. However, it does give us a look at what appears to be a sliding latch, which might allow users to open the back panel easily.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the publication adds that the Fairphone 6 will feature a user-replaceable main, wide-angle, and selfie cameras. Like the Fairphone 5, its earpiece, speaker, USB-C port, display, and battery will also be interchangeable. Fairphone could retail the phone for \u20ac549.99 (~$629), but we\u2019ll have to wait until the launch for confirmation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
