Considerations
Product Lifecycle: Fairphone has historically released new smartphone models approximately every two years. The Fairphone 5 was released in September 2023, suggesting that a Fairphone 6 announcement in June 2025 would be slightly ahead of this pattern.
Market Expansion: The company's plans to enter new markets and offer more affordable devices may influence the types of products announced.
AI Integration: Fairphone has acknowledged the growing trend of AI integration in smartphones but has expressed caution due to environmental concerns. Any new product announcements may reflect this balanced approach. (fairphone.com)
Community Feedback: Discussions within the Fairphone community have highlighted desires for improved thermals, battery life, and processing power in future devices. (androidauthority.com)
