Fairphone CEO: Two new products coming out in 2026

In the live chat they said it should be live now in Google Play, but I don’t see it myself either.

For those interested as well. They teased the Fairbuds 2 during the QA video, but you can only see the box and not the actual buds themselves. I don’t have a timestamp yet since it’s live.

The Gallery App should be in the App store, however I even do not have it on the 6+ I have here.

Here’s the moment the Fairbuds 2 are teased, right at 30:40. It’s launching quarter 4.

I want to criticize this announcement at one part. The “advertisement” of this video was not small and exited me. At the end we got a bigger version and a new color. The comparison between the size of the announcement and the actual result is too big IMO. A new color and a bigger phone version is not worth the effort I think.

A Smartwatch, Tablet, or Laptop would have been better for the size of this announcement timeline. This video was not about two new products. It was a change of one product.

Although I’m not able to install it on my FP6 just yet (it says unsupported in my country).

Interesting, I cant even find it neither on the 6 nor the 6+

I vaguely remember you are on beta, right … ?

Me too…so thats most likely not the reason and again its not on the 6+ and not in the Playstore although on the 6+ I logged in with my Google Account

Yes, but I found the app through Google Search. It doesn’t appear in the Play Store unless I go through that link (probably the same reason for the “unsupported in your country” information).

Thanks for sharing the link. Just installed it…

that was fast,

apologies, it did not display nicely and for those who don’t want to go to YT, I want to include the preview and depiction captured in the image

PS. could not find it on the Ifixit website (yet), Fairphone 6 Repair Help: Learn How to Fix It Yourself.

so to avoid misunderstandings where are you located or did you use VPN?

Edit seems they changed something I could install on the 6 and 6+ now in DE and its also now available in the Playstore by search. However on the FP6 I dont have a Google account added and trying to open the app directs me to the Playstore instead…

what makes these apps so special that fp6 ++ only? what about them other generations? sigh. whatever.

I just installed it on a LOS FP3+, no Problem with Installation via Play Store, but it is laggy on this Device

Fairphone now sells the Gen 6+ in the USA. This is the first time it sells a phone with its own operating system. At least this is huge even though most of us (since Europeans) don’t really care :wink:

What make you think that the gallery App is not available on Fp4+5

It’s interesting that the US price is cheaper than the equivalent in Euro

On the US price come taxes which seem to differ from state to state in the US.

Even then

650€ (on the cheaper side in Europe) are 750$, I don’t think there is a state that has 100$ tax.

E.g. California has 70$

Edit: Now the price on Switzerland changed to 589€, that seems more comparable
