If the cameras were significantly improved, I'd probably upgrade and gift my current FP6 to my niece. Looks like they're exactly the same though. For my use cases, I don't see any point in having more RAM or a better SoC in my phone, FP6 will serve me just fine on that front for many years.

Speaking of the cam, I find it quite good. It's comparable to Pixel a-series. What sucks for me is that it's not consistent. That's entirely software though.

I still have my 4. Wonderful phones!
I imagine this is only a chip bump + additional RAM, so not really worth it for most people as an upgrade. A nice bonus for people getting a new phone though!
It also looks like the modular accessories are interchangeable since the design looks almost identical. Very glad it's still 6.3" too, the "Plus" doesn't mean it's bigger.
The price bump to €649 is quite significant though, that's a €150 jump from the MSRP of the non-Plus! The memory crisis is rough.
These are just leaks though, no confirmation on anything yet!
I see the price tag and lol, but then remember that all the big name flagship and even midrange phones have similar sticker prices. But then I have to ask whether the typical user actually pays the amount up front for a Pixel 10 or whatever. I'd expect it's instead baked into subscription pricing where you get the phone at a large "discount" with a 2 year contract or whatever.
I do have a family member who bought a new iphone 13 when they were $700 or so but I couldn't see doing that myself. My $200 Moto G hardware does everything that I want my phone hardware to do. It's just the software lockdowns that I'd want to escape from. If I could run Graphene or whatever on similar hardware I'd be right there, no need for a Fairphone.
