Should I get the Fairphone (Gen. 6) or the Fairphone (Gen. 6+)? Why?
Both are high performing devices that are built for the long run. The Fairphone (Gen. 6) is a highly capable device that perfectly serves the everyday needs of most users. However, if you need a bit more "oomph" from your device, perhaps you game more frequently, or use your phone more heavily, the Fairphone (Gen. 6+) is the better choice for you. The Gen. 6+ builds on what already works by adding premium performance features, specifically 12GB of DDR5 RAM and the highly efficient Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 mobile platform, delivering significantly faster app loading and multitasking.
Why did you launch the Fairphone (Gen. 6+)?
We launched the Fairphone (Gen. 6+) because we want to cater to more types of users, specifically people who want a bit more “oomph” from their device. If you are the kind of person who needs that little extra, maybe you do a bit more gaming or you are someone who uses their phone heavily for work, the 6+ is the better choice for you.
We refer to this as our Plus philosophy. Rather than forcing consumers into unnecessary minor redesigns, we build on what already works.
