Product description

Protect your new Fairphone 4 256GB Gray 5G from damage with the Protective Back Cover Gray. The back cover protects the sides and the back of your smartphone from scratches and dents. The Fairphone 4 is a sustainable and fair smartphone. The device is made from recycled materials as much as possible. If a component doesn't work anymore, you can easily replace it yourself. Due to all these parts, this smartphone is a bit thicker. You also receive monthly security updates until 2026. In addition, Fairphone offers 3 extra years of warranty on top of the 2 years warranty you receive from Coolblue. This means the warranty is 5 years. Register your purchase with Fairphone to receive this extra warranty. You can read how to do this on the product page. This device is suitable for daily tasks like social media, Spotify, and YouTube. On the 6.3-inch Full HD screen, you'll see your movies and games in details, but the colors aren't as bright as with comparable smartphones.

Note: there's no adapter or USB-C cable included in the box. Use your own accessories or purchase them separately.

Actually the only choice

  • Fairly produced, no workers exploited
  • raw materials mined sustainably
  • important parts can be replaced cheaply yourself
  • big

The bottom line is: if you think rationally, this is the only phone (or phone brand) you can buy:
* The phone has the smallest possible ecological footprint
* Everyone who has worked on / assembled this phone has been paid decently and has decent fringe benefits (so no child / slave labor, it's crazy that you have to write that down)
* There is a bare Android version without bloatware
* Important parts (such as the battery) are super easy to replace and affordable: a new battery costs € 29.95!

Some more common user experiences:
It's not a small phone. In fact, it is huge, especially with a case. You must love that.
The fingerprint scanner location is not ideal, but you get used to it. However, it doesn't really work that great. It happens to me at least twice a day that I still have to type in the code. Not a deal breaker, but clumsy.
Battery life isn't anything to write home about either. A day without charging I rarely succeed, if I also use it as a navigation, the battery runs out quickly. Then you have to top up, but navigating in the car with Waze I can't get more in with a 2.4A USB charger, it still drains, but much slower. You cannot save the south of France with the car charger, then you have to top up in between with a power bank or at a gas station with a fast charger.
Despite the bare-bones Android, I experience slightly more glitches than on my old phone. An app crashes a few times a week.
I regularly read reviews about screen and camera, but I don't share them. For "normal" use, the screen and camera are fine in my opinion.

In short: considering everything that really matters, this is a no brainer! And yet.... this is a tricky phone to rate. And that's because you compare the price / quality with phones you can't compare it with. All other telephones / manufacturers commit robbery on the earth, exploit workers outrageously, sometimes / regularly / often put bloatware on your phone (so that you pay with your data), and are not or very expensive to repair. But those phones do offer more "value" for money at first glance. My old Xiaomi 9T pro (bought once for half the price of this Fairphone) actually felt like a better phone in many boxes. This makes the Fairphone feel a bit expensive for what you get in your hands.

But still, if you're honest it isn't. The Fairphone is a phone with a fair price. Other phones are actually too cheap due to the above-mentioned bad practices. And that's what other people, the earth, and eventually you, if you have to repair, pay the price for that. So if you think a little longer about what's really important, there's only one phone. The honest phone. The Fairphone.

Bye bye hard-to-repair smartphones, welcome Fairphone.

  • 5 years warranty
  • Key parts are easily replaceable
  • Made by super happy Chinese workers
  • I won't order a new smartphone for five years

When after a year of using my Nokia 8.3 I was left with a broken USB c charging port that apparently couldn't even be repaired, I got tired of it. Smartphones never reach the end of their technical life for me, purely because a silly part breaks and it is too expensive or too cumbersome to repair. The Fairphone 4 solves that easily, parts are guaranteed to be in stock for a long time and easy to replace. I will most likely earn back the extra cost in the next five years when my mobile phone will be introduced to the asphalt a few times.

Distinctive top phone

  • Sustainable and therefore distinctive
  • Fits well in the hand
  • Nice and fast
  • Cases not available in local case stores

The phone fits well in the hand. Case is still on the way, but even without a case you have the feeling that you have the phone well. Otherwise a great phone. And definitely an upgrade after my Samsung S8. Especially the distinctiveness of this sustainable and Dutch brand is great!
