"Were working on two new products that the whole Fairphone team is incredibly proud of, van Eck told us over email. I can't give away the surprises right now where's the fun in that? but I promise theyre going to really push the envelope on what people expect from modular and sustainable tech, and TechRadar readers will be some of the first to know!" At the same time, the Fairphone chief also shared a LinkedIn post featuring YouTuber Zack Nelson (aka JerryRigEverything), in which Nelson writes, Finally! Its about freakin time. Ive been waiting.

The Fairphone 6 was officially announced in June last year, so it figures
that van Ecks tease relates to the companys next sustainability-focused smartphone. However, Fairphone has so far released a new model every two
years the Fairphone 5 arrived in 2023, the Fairphone 4 in 2021, and so on
so theres no guarantee that this upcoming device will be the Fairphone 7, nor even that itll be a smartphone at all. The Fairphone 6 was announced in June 2025 (Image credit: Fairphone) The nature of the second product in van Ecks tease is even harder to predict. Fairphone routinely launches audio products to sit alongside its smartphones, but the latest edition of its Fairphone Fairbuds XL over-ears launched in December 2025, which writes off the possibility of an imminent successor. The companys wireless earbuds, the Fairphone Fairbuds, launched in April 2024, so a new pair of those in 2026 makes more sense. You may like Fairphone CEO says there is no financial
excuse for smartphone manufacturers to pay their workers less than a living wage OnePlus is reportedly merging with Realme, and I'm convinced that this
is actually a good thing The latest OnePlus 15T teasers show it won't be an ordinary mid-ranger

Perhaps Fairphone is preparing to enter an entirely new product category. It hasnt yet released a sustainability-focused tablet, and Nelsons excitement Finally! Its about freakin time does suggest that something truly new is on the horizon from the Dutch manufacturer. Could this be the Fairtablet?

Mind you, Fairphones expansion into the US market where Nelson is based
also falls into the category of something truly new. At present, it is possible to pick up a Fairphone 6 in the US, but only in a de-Googled, T-Mobile-locked configuration, as exclusively sold by Murena for $899. US buyers, therefore, have particular reason to be excited about any new Fairphone smartphone.

In any case, its been a good few years for Fairphone. While undoubtedly still a small fish in a big pond, the company achieved record growth in 2025 , and the Fairphone 6 which improved on its predecessor with a better display, a faster chipset, and a more attractive design was well received by buyers and reviewers (us included).

Heres hoping Fairphone can continue its upward trajectory with whatever two products it's cooking up for 2026.
