Product details

The 48MP camera has been updated and improved to provide optimized performance. The latest software upgrade has significantly enhanced the user experience. Improvements include fast autofocus with laser precision, a responsive shutter for accelerated shots, improved color reproduction even in challenging lighting conditions, and effective video stabilization for high-quality images and videos.

The most sustainable smartphone is one that lasts a long time. This is exactly how Fairphone has designed its smartphone: a forward-thinking, modular device with 5G speed, excellent battery life, and top-notch dual cameras. The best way to reduce your ecological footprint is to use your smartphone for a longer period.

Fairphone is for everyone who cares about the production of their products. The Fairphone 4 is a high-quality smartphone with a focus on fairness: it is currently one of the most sustainable smartphones and still the only ethical smartphone on the market. Our smartphones are made from many different, high-quality materials that are becoming increasingly scarce due to rising demand in the electronics industry. Therefore, the Fairphone 4 is designed for easy repairs, supported by available spare parts, long-term software support, and an extended warranty - unique in the industry.
