Charging port broke after a year of use . Phone glitches.
Great product, a little heavy, even though I had a small old smartphone, with performance and weight now out of the market. Some problems managing ringtones, but maybe it's also my lack of expertise.
It is a very nice look and feel, the shell seems really solid and has good grip. The screen is wide, the colors are brilliant. Obviously, it is easy to disassemble. The software is a stock android version, which I have seen only in emulators, never on a real phone, and is very fast with all the features needed and no bloatware preinstalled. The camera takes good pictures, but on multiple shots sometimes it seems to freeze for a fraction of a second. Overall, a great phone and a great philosophy behind.
Doesnt't work vibration and haptic technology and i really need that!!!!
Phone dead on arrival, and have to wait a week before I can send it back......

It's good money for value. The interface could be improved a bit but in general lines the phone runs smooth and looks great
Very stable, the added value is that I still have all the fairphones I bought (one each for my son and daughter) so far, so the new green one is in good company. I own this new phone since last week, so it's very new, perfectly working, very shiny and beautiful :) Maybe it's an early impression, it seems to me the battery lasts approximately 1 our less than a new one on a fp3+. I'm liking the new touch detector for the fingerprint, even if I need time to get used to its position I find it easy to use, protected, so maybe more long-lasting than the previous one. The touch on the monitor is slightly different from the previous versions of it; what is different also is the camera! I'm taking amazing pictures, and I love this feature.
It feels good to have a fair product
Very good phone.
Good quality a little heavy otherwise great
Robust phone, easy to use,. Chose it mainly because of the fact that the company is a B Corp, sourcing most of the materials as locally as possible, prefers fair trade, has a 5 year guarantee, doesn't supply superfluous stuff like cables.
very heavy - makes my hand ache
Easy workable and very neat ,perfect for everything
Why do I need to use 10 letters
Hello fairphone folks I have only just received and set up my new phone so I can't really comment on things like battery life etc. I'm hoping the phone lives up to the comments I received about your phones when consulting with someone who has had one of your phones for a while. Thanks.
Great build quality, sleek design.
Why fairphone is my choice. I buy a phone, and I am allowed by manufacturer to put on it custom operating system. Beautiful design and robust construction. Personally, I would preffer a smaller screen/phone.
I expected more for Battery Life
Phone crashed repeatedly and within a few minutes ceased to work. I have been trying for over a week to contact Fairphone customer support. Online chat support is only available 12 hours/week and no response to emails/ online support form. My family have Fairphones and they have been excellent. I applaud the ethical manufacturing and component sourcing, but this customer service experience has been terrible.
Hi Neil, we sincerely apologize for the experience you’ve had. We see that you already have opened a support request. We're currently experiencing busier times on our end. We asked our Support team to get back to you as soon as possible to help further! Best, Lara
I valued it three starts just not be too harsh as Fairphone has a good purpose. I would give it 1 to be fair. I bought my first FP more than one month ago. It arrived with a problem with the screen, which kept it black, and it took weeks to receive the confirmation it was not my fault so I could have my money back (Even if I live in the Netherlands, not far from Amsterdam). As I try to do my very best to improve this world, I decided to give it a second chance. Now, it has been less than 3 weeks since the new FP arrived, and the screen has started to flick. Unfortunately, this time, the first two weeks for giving it back have already passed. Otherwise, I would return it immediately not to buy it anymore. I prefer to donate money rather than buy a sustainable product, which complicates my life. This should not be called sustainability.
Brought the FP4 for it's sustainability. Couldn't justify buying the FP5 on price. Works well as a phone and a camera. It's a little bit bigger than I would have wanted but hopefully FP 6 will be made a little smaller (?). Ordering was easy, delivery was quick, good to have the option to pick up from a UPS point rather than waiting in at home. A happy customer.
Very good purchase! So far, no issues, although I'd appreciate having received a bumper case, like I did with my FP3. I can't find any online or on the FP website.
I really lite the whole concept but there are some things that annoy me in the settings, that you can't cancel the autocorrect for example.
So far so good
This is a great phone if you don't do anything special (like heavy gaming), the battery life is really good, the physical layout of the buttons is great, fingerprint sensor is very fast, and the camera is decent especially since the free software update, which gave massive improvements. The fact it's fully repairable means I'll probably replace the battery in a few years instead of getting a new phone. The up-front investment in a repairable phone is more than a phone of comparable spec (like the Google Pixel A series). But the planet is fairly important, so the investment is more than worth it. It's also a little thicker and heavier than other phones, but that just means it feels really solid. For me, a case makes it too bulky, but with a replaceable plastic back I haven't been worried.
The Fairphone 4 is nice and practical and, so far, has done everything I needed. I am a relatively basic user, but from what I see: * The screen is wide and works very well, * I haven't had any issue with microphones and headphones, the audio has always been good in general, * It took me around 90 minutes to start the phone for the first time and transfer all apps, accounts etc. I am not a pro user, if I did it, I think it is feasible for everyone with basic literacy, * The battery is lasting a whole day, sometimes even more. I don't use the phone intensively, but I have used it while travelling, with railway apps etc, without any problem, * The camera is good, not exceptional, but so far it has done everything I needed, including some nice pictures with low light, * The only downside is that the phone is relatively heavy. I don't know if I would have bought the Fairphone 4 without the 30% discount I got on the website, but so far I am happy with it, also considering the ethical side, that is quite important, at least for me.
the battery dies in 3 - 3,5 hours of screan time other than that there is no problem
Great product. I already had one for personal use, now also for work. The battery lasts longs, it's a sustainable product and I love the different colors
The product very good! It fits what I need
It has excellent specs for way less money than an equivalent, great quality, and it has a 5-year warranty, and it is more ethical than any other device.
Excellent piece of kit. With all he features and modular design this is exactly what I was looking for. Very resilient and you have the certainty of receiving the updated Android versions.
Thanks for existing!
Love my new phone. It works much better than my old Samsung Galaxy. Took some getting used to slightly different functions but works well with all my Apps - particularly Android Auto which used to be really slow. I really like the more robust feel you get from being slightly heavier and feeling good about not adding to un-recycled waste. Very affordable in comparison with other options. I would highly recommend this phone.
Fingers crossed that this, my third Fairphone, lasts longer than the previous two! At least the five year guarantee and projected software support is more promising.
I think that the direction is definitely the right one :) I especially like the minimalistic set of apps and the fact that the phone does not disturb you too much with unneccesary, cluttered things. It IS quite heavy and bulky, compared to other modern smartphones and maybe won't suit you, if you're someone, who absolutely needs all the latest capabilities, but for someone who needs their everyday needs of e-mails, documents, youtube, mapping and other stuff met, then completely sufficient. One thing I would really like, however, is more weatherproofing - water resistance would be great - or atleast some very handy and convenient waterproof case options. My main priority this time was sustainability and security (switching away from Chinese government controlled companies). Hope, I will be able to use for many years to come.
Here are some aspects, that are omitted from the official spec-sheet: 1. The bootloader remains free, that means you can install ANY operating system of your choice, as it should be. 2. The phone is built like a tank. Even without a case it remains usable, in contrast to almost every other smartphone out there and although the back is a softer, more flexible plastic, it is sufficient to protect against usual water splashes and dirt. 3. When something breaks, you have access to any single part to repair it and if that is beyond your budget, you also get schematics for component-level repair. 4. This phone will even survive my mum. Truth be told, you will only recognise how terrible other phones are, once you have one of these, not because of confirmation bias, but when your phone can survive being dropped and still work fine without the glass on the back shattering, or god forbid, even replace the battery by just prying the back off with your bare hands, you will ask yourself, why everything has gone wrong in this industry. As for their “sustainability” advertising: The materials/supply chain are fairer. Reminder. Neither you nor I can do anything for the climate, 100 companies produce the majority of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The most sustainable thing you and I can do, is to hang onto our stuff for as long as possible, repairing it as efficiently as possible, the effect on the climate remains irrelevant.
Prise en main facile
Excellent product, especially after the update of the camera software
when I turn on speakerphone during a call, people cannot hear me properly I tried to take videos during a concert, audio was terrible, worst record ever camera not so good neither, above all in night settings sometimes touchscreen doesn't work properly and phone gets stucked in last days, response in opening apps and so on is much slower than before and I don't understand why 600 euros for such a product is really too much. I bought this product for its sustainability commitment but I didn't expect such a bad quality...
Hi there, thanks very much for bringing this to our attention. We’re so sorry to hear about your experience. We can see you already created a support request, and we asked our Support team to get back to you as soon as possible. Best, Lara
I am completely satisfied This is an excellent product Recommended for everyone
Great Smartphone! Fast, good camera, good battery life.
The phone it's self is a gem, ordering it from their website is a total nightmare. While the website looks like it does the trick, it is completely terrible. I had to order my phone 3 X from the website - the website took my money but didn't process my order meaning I was down £900 with no phone in sight. Completely terrible. To date they still haven't refunded me.
I'm loving it! I am not a computer buff so I'm on a steep learning curve but it is very user friendly and beautifully set out. The ethical aspect is really important to me
It's a great device, a little on the heavy side but a reasonable exchange for doing something so positive.
Great phone and a good thing to support!
Love the feel of the phone, the way it avoids dubious sources, child exploitation, and is sincerely committed to durability and the replacement of most parts without having to buy a new phone. This is not green-washing, this is the real thing.
I buy Fairphone's because they are environmentally responsible and don't use child labour - it works as well as any other android as far as I can tell.
I'm very pleased the phone overall. The one thing I do miss from my previous phones is a light to notify me of alerts when the phone is on silent, and when it is charging.
The battery life is horrible. My old budget mobile lasted from 24-36 hours. My Fairphone doesn't stand my daily use for more than 2 hours.
Hi Hugo, we sincerely apologize for the experience you’ve had. We see that you have been already contacted by our support team via email. We’ll make sure they will continue to help you further. Best, Lara
Super.Nickel
I had a really old phone before that one, so I'm not one to compare it to other more recent phones. But I am happy with it. It is well made in my opinion.
Screen is not really responsive, already tried contacting the support desk twice for this but they didn't answer yet. Really doubting to send the phone back as I have 0 trust in the company at this moment
Hello Brent, thank you for posting a review. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We’ve just popped you a follow-up email so that we can work on resolving this for you. Best, Rey
Works as expected.
Battery life is now very god. I can used one week. The quality of the phone is handy and ideally personal. The price is not high like a Samsung or apple. The phone is still a very good quality.
Tres bon smarphone
The battery life is not bad ,it's just that it's not good either . More than good enough,it's just that it could be a lot better . Would make the phone even better that it is, especially since Fairphone customers would appreciate a higher quality battery that would last longer . However , I would say that the normal quality battery (not good not bad) negative aspect of the phone is outweighed by the fact that in a matter of seconds you can simply swap the phones battery and have 100% automatically . This is literally impossible with other phone brands. You would have to charge the phone with a power bank and habe to wait several minutes for the phone to reach 100%. Overall,the Fairphone 4 is a great phone ,I'm not going back to any other phone brand. I don't understand all the negative reviews online. The size is perfect .The weight is perfect .The camera is good .The phone's speed is good too . I am 100% satisfied ,even with the battery that could be much better .I'm planning on buying a second spare battery to charge my phone to 100% in seconds !
No problem
Super Handy
Very good quality, feels solid
First one I got lasted 1 year and a half of heavy use. Numerous falls, including one from 4 stories and I had it in a steamy bathroom alot. Ultimately the antenna gave out but I bought another one because of its immense durability. Second phone came pre-bricked so I sent it back. Third phone is now having issues with GPS and takes ages to get a fixed position. Hopefully I can resolve this on the fairphone forum, but as I buy these from the official store I'd expect better.
I want to give it 5 stars, I really do. I love the idea behind the brand. But.... a recent update highjacks your power button and makes it the "Google Assistant Button". Ridiculous! I love Fairphone's mission of durability, sustainability, customer-rights, and paying a fair price for goods and services down the supply chain. This move feels weirdly antithetical to most of that mission. It was either a choke move by Google demanding that real estate or a piece of your phone that Fairphone "sold" to a feature. If it's the former, it wouldn't be Fairphone's fault, but if it's the latter that would be disappointing! To opt out, you have to change the power button "Gesture" is your settings. But why highjack the button and make it a opt-out instead of an opt-in for a piece of bloatware? Not really customer-centric. It's the POWER button, not the "Your Bloatware here" button. If Fairphone would push back on this issue, this would be a 5 star review!
Great phone!
It delivers everything it promises. It's good a great feel, and for me basic phone usage (messages, mails, and banking basically) it does everything I need it to. Of course, I knew what I signed up for: it feels heavy in the hand, and other such minor inconveniences.
Better in every generation - the camera has greatly improved.
Very solid, good quality phone
I have only ever owned Fairphone smart phones, 1, 2 and 3+ and the Fairphone 4 lives upto all my expectations. Absolutely no complaints or problems at all. A phone that is ethical and can be repaired is just a no brainer and I am happy to support this enterprise. Delivered very quickly after ordering.
Good Phone. Price is a little high bit therefore IT IS fair
Overall a bit disappointing. The phone itself works well and I fully support the concept. However the size/weight makes it unusable one-handed which is a deal-breaker for me, particularly when the entry price remains significantly higher than equivalent models of other brands (even more so for second hand models). While I will continue to support your evolution and hope for more ergonomic models at more affordable prices in the future, I will unfortunately return this one.
Unfortunately I can't do a good review. I have been using this phone for 1 year now, so my opinion has some kind of a foundation. I have been following this project since the first version, waiting for the right moment to step in and give them an opportunity. FP4 was, in my opinion the right moment, but I think I have anticipated the moment. Don't get me wrong, I love this phone, the idea, construction, the effort put on it, but for the price I paid, wich is just 100€ cheaper than a OnePlus 10 Pro, this phone doesn't make the cut. Battery life is short, the phone it's heavy, charging time is slooooow, but I can live with that. It's the performance what gets me. eSIM causing constant-random reboots, phone overheating, lossing connectivity all the time, sloooow responsiveness, the camera is under no circumstances worth using, and some other things. I think, that a 600€ phone MUST show some skills, the idea of being green and all is great, I bought that, but I want reliability too. I'll keep owning this phone until it die, and I will buy another one, but only when I am sure you deliver a product at the same level as the price you ask
Hi Vicente, thanks for sharing your journey with Fairphone. We are truly sorry to hear about your experience. However, we could not find any case from your side with our support team. Please, know you can always reach out and we will be happy to assist you. We have opened a request and you should have received an email from our side. Best, Lara
I love it!
So far it's a pretty good phone all around. I can easly open it when i need to and the bugs are very minor then i expected
General Stability, Bluetooth not working a lot of times, materials not durable
Congratulations, that this project is still running. Especially the certification of the materials production chain, the use of recycled materials and the ideas about recycling are good. The phone does what it should. The size is not an optimum for me. The modular construction is probalby also responsible and I know that smartphones are getting bigger and a manufacturer has to follow the trend. The combination of thickness, length, width, wheight and the material of the bumper, see below, makes it sometimes difficult to hold the phone. Probably this cannot be done better and due to the idea behind the smartphne I decided to accept this.
Very good phone, and I'm glad to pay a fair price for what I am given. It isn't perfect but it does everything I need to do without any trouble.
great i installed lineage os easily and have positive experience.
This is my second fairphone and I expected there to be 2 physical SIM card slots in it like my previous one. However after spending a large amount of money on a new fiarphone 4 I discovered that your second SIM card was only an eSIM. This caused me huge problems since my primary SIM card is in a country not supported by you nor by eSIM (Ghana) and my secondary SIM card was a UK vodafone "pay as you go" and they refused to give me an eSIM unless I paid a minimum of £11 per month for a contract that I would not be able to use since I do not live in the UK. It was very stressful since I was only in the UK for Christmas and this was the only window in which I could recieve a delivery from you and sort out all this hassle. In the end I was forced to change mobile phone providers to the only one I could find that currently allow a pay as you go eSIM (Lycamobile). Please consider putting back the second physical SIM card slot until such a time as eSIM cards are more widespread &/or we see an end to the discriminatory roaming charges that are unaffordable for people workign for charities abroad. Thanks for consiering this.
Very happy to be using a phone from a company with a conscience. It's a great step up from the FP two that I kept struggling on with for as long as possible.
Perfect phone for me…..fully sustainable….repairable AND a five year warranty What else can you ask for?!
Watch some unpackings and reviews, and the phone will feel exactly what is shown.
I was attracted to this phone by the underlying ethos of sustainability and fairly traded components, and I anticipated much more use of open-source software to match. The hardware is made of repairable or replaceable components - but is the software equally repairable or replaceable? Personally, even if the operating system has to be Android, I would prefer the apps to be based more on open-source or at least Google-independent products. In terms of performance, the hardware seems to work well, though the touch screen is noticeably less responsive at times than that of my previous Samsung phone.
The best phone I have ever had!
Easily the best phone I've ever had Quality piece of kit. I love the conscientious design in that I can replace parts easily, not that I've needed to do far. I've had it for a year and have had no issues at all. Fair phone have earned by trust as a reliable organisation. I was concerned that Google would withhold Android updates, but I have the next OS now, so my one concern turned out not to be a problem.
Great phone. Unfortunately, the telephone audio quality suffered when I installed Lineage OS.
I like it!
Great Phone! Just Happy :)
The right to repair obvious choice!
Overall a very good phone, great building quality, fast and responsive most of the times although I would expect a bit better battery life. Moved to Fairphone mostly because of the ethical and sustainable attitude behind its products and to to do so I had to more than double my usual budget for a phone. So this is a big improvement for me but I would really welcome the option of a modern yet lower range phone. So now my expecatations are to keep this for as mayny years as possible and hope this phone will meet them.
A+ phone and concept
Great so far, very happy with the purchase!
User friendly with very nice design.
It does what it is supposed to and meets my expectations.
Very happy with the phone, big improvement coming from Fairphone 3.
Very good phone, still a bit expensive compared to competition.
Nice phone, a bit on the bulky side
Well, it works. Though I am annoyed at being made to write something.
I love my Fairphone 4 and after 10 months I didn't have any problems with the hardware or with the software (which gets continuously updates). For I'm no gamer, the speed and memory are good enough - I never got to any limit of either. I'm only a little disappointed that there is no speckled green or at least a transparent bumper (at all the bumpers are very expensive).
I find it very large, but otherwise I'm happy
Pretty expensive for the specs you get but the phone works great and has no real flaws
Perfectly in line with my wish to have a solid, recent and repairable phone. Thank you to Fairphone for offering this alternative.
Great phone, that will serve through many years.

A single Fairphone 4 weighs 225 grams. So when we say it is e-waste neutral, what we mean is that for every Fairphone 4 produced, we recycle 225 grams of electronic waste. This means 100% compensation for the material we put into the market.

All the parts in the Fairphone 4 come together in perfect harmony because people made it that way. With each Fairphone 4, we’ve worked with suppliers to reserve a living wage bonus for factory workers
We’re working with the Fair Cobalt Alliance to integrate fair cobalt and responsible lithium into the supply chain. This battery is both easy to swap and a positive development.
Cameras, like a picture, should be long-lasting. Our main camera and selfie camera are replaceable.
What else is long-lasting?
Fairphone works with the camera supplier to ensure safe working conditions and improve worker voice and satisfaction.
The USB-C port is the unsung hero of our devices. It's used daily to charge our phones or transfer our data. That can take a toll. But there's no need to call it quits. All our USB-C ports are fully replaceable. Simple and easy, just as it should be.
The back cover is what you hold onto the most. Made with 100% recycled plastics, the Fairphone 4 goes the extra mile to bring you closer to sustainability. And it feels great.
The loudspeaker was made by many hands. So we work with the speaker supplier to ensure safe working conditions and improve worker voice and satisfaction. Everyone deserves a voice.

/e/OS is an open-source OS and fully "deGoogled". So it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience, but it doesn’t share any data with Google.
It runs a set of carefully selected, /e/OS default apps. You choose which additional apps you install. Looking for a software experience that has all the functionality and values your privacy? This is it.
Everything you need to get started. No more. No less.
We do not include a USB Cable, charger and audio jack adapter in this box because we believe that it’s better to save the environment through the reduction of plastic waste. Of course, it’s possible to buy one of these products if you need it.
Is your phone lying in a drawer somewhere? Why not put it to work? It’s worth it.

Great product, a little heavy, even though I had a small old smartphone, with performance and weight now out of the market. Some problems managing ringtones, but maybe it's also my lack of expertise.
It is a very nice look and feel, the shell seems really solid and has good grip. The screen is wide, the colors are brilliant. Obviously, it is easy to disassemble. The software is a stock android version, which I have seen only in emulators, never on a real phone, and is very fast with all the features needed and no bloatware preinstalled. The camera takes good pictures, but on multiple shots sometimes it seems to freeze for a fraction of a second. Overall, a great phone and a great philosophy behind.
It's good money for value. The interface could be improved a bit but in general lines the phone runs smooth and looks great

STORE LOCATORIt is extremely easy to open up the Fairphone 4. All you need is a Phillips #00 screwdriver. We always advocate for making any repairs yourself, so feel free to open it up yourself. However, we would advise you to not open it up too often. As with most electronics, you risk losing or stripping the screws, or worse, damaging the parts inside. You should only open it up if you need to repair it or troubleshoot something.
Unfortunately not. The Fairphone 4 has a different modular architecture and a different chipset, so spare parts are not interchangeable with other Fairphone models.
You can give them a new life via our Reuse and Recycle program!
The Fairphone 4 contains: recycled tin, recycled rare earth elements, fair tungsten, fair cobalt, Fairtrade gold, aluminum from ASI certified sources, recycled plastics, and recycled copper. We are working towards integrating responsible lithium and increasing the percentage of recycled zinc, magnesium, and nickel content.
For further details, visit our Fairphone 4 FAQ.
There are more phones than people. And behind every device is a complex supply chain. With suppliers, local communities and the wider industry, we work for fairer materials and more responsible practices. Showing the electronics industry that we can do better.
Together we’re disrupting the industry’s short-term thinking that the world can no longer afford. And changing what it means to be “best.”
