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.
When you buy a Fairphone 4, we recycle or give one old phone a second life. This means 100% compensation for the material we put into the market. Making it e-waste neutral. A goal we can all get behind.
The Fairphone 4’s body is machined from aluminium from ASI certified vendors. And we’ve designed it with 100% recycled plastics back cover. Using even more materials that are responsibly sourced and conflict-free.
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.
Fairphone 4 is packed with future-proof specs.

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.

The Fairphone 4 New Life Edition devices are tested by technicians for full functionality and have been carefully repaired where needed, always with original spare parts. This means they are restored to their original condition and their lifespan is extended. Each of these phones is as good as new, and comes with:
A second hand phone (sometimes also called a used phone) isn't tested and often doesn't have any guarantee.
We called it ‘New Life Edition’ because by refurbishing the devices, we are giving them a new, second life, instead of throwing them away to become electronic waste.
We aim to be able to provide spare parts for 4 years after the last device was sold.
More than 80% of the full capacity (minimum of 3124 mAh of the original 3905 mAh) guaranteed doesn't sound bad, right? We're all about longevity, so we'll test all batteries and replace only those that are under 80%. Worry not, we'll also include one free new replacement battery if you experience any battery issues during the warranty period.
The refurbished phones will have at worst 1 or 2 slight scratches on the display, never located in the center of the display. This will not be noticeable in the daily usage of the device. There could also be minor scratches on the back cover and frame.
We have clearly defined aesthetics and visual requirements for the phones we allow to be sold as refurbished, therefore it is not necessary to “register” the visual state of the device. We are only selling refurbished devices of which quality we are absolutely certain about.
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.”
