NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Fairphone 6 Plus is the more complete choice for better display, performance, and camera capability: it brings LTPO OLED, DDR5 RAM, and optical stabilization. Fairphone Gen 6+ suits buyers who prioritize Wi-Fi connectivity, with Wi-Fi 6 alongside Wi-Fi 6E, while both share a 4,415 mAh battery and 30W charging.
The 6 Plus uses more of its front panel, with 83.7% usable surface versus 78% on the Gen 6+, and adds LTPO OLED instead of pOLED. It also starts with Android 16 versus Android 15. For performance, both phones have 12GB of RAM and UFS 3.1, but the 6 Plus uses DDR5 while the Gen 6+ uses LPDDR5.
For photography, the 6 Plus adds optical image stabilization to its main camera, a more tangible difference than the Gen 6+'s 0.7 µm front-camera pixels versus 0.64 µm on the 6 Plus. The Gen 6+ answers with Wi-Fi 6 and QZSS navigation alongside Wi-Fi 6E; the 6 Plus lacks Wi-Fi 6 and QZSS. The choice is therefore between display and camera strengths or broader connectivity.
Fairphone Gen 6+
Fairphone 6 Plus is the better buy for buyers seeking LTPO OLED, Android 16, and optical stabilization.
Fairphone 6 Plus
Fairphone Gen 6+ is the better buy for buyers who prioritize Wi-Fi 6 and QZSS alongside Wi-Fi 6E.
