Key features.
Certified Sustainability Leader
The Fairphone 4 is not just durable; it is a globally recognised ethical and environmental pioneer in the smartphone industry. TCO Certified: It was the first smartphone certified under TCO Certified, a third-party sustainability certification for IT products that examines the entire life cycle, including socially responsible manufacturing and environmental impact.
Advanced IP54 and MIL-STD-810G Durability
Beyond its simple repairability, the phone is structurally rugged. It has an IP54 rating for protection against dust ingress and splashes/rain, and complies with the stringent MIL-STD-810G military durability standard (tested against shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures).
Certified Ethical Sourcing
The Fairphone 4 actively champions Fair Trade Gold (the first smartphone to do so) and ethically sourced materials, including 100% recycled plastics in the back cover and recycled tin. The company has a transparent supply chain focused on fair wages and conflict-free minerals.
e-Waste Neutrality
Fairphone is the world's first electronic-waste-neutral smartphone company. For every Fairphone 4 sold, they commit to compensating 100% of its mass by responsibly recycling an equal amount of e-waste or giving another phone a second life.
Modular Design for Repairability
Achieved a perfect 10/10 iFixit Repairability Score. Key components like the Battery, Display, USB-C Port, and Camera Modules are user-replaceable using only a standard screwdriver, extending the phone's hardware life.
Longevity Commitment
Offered a 5-year manufacturer warranty at launch and is committed to delivering software support and planned Android updates until at least 2026 (Android 15).
Removable Battery
Features a 3,905mAh Li-Ion battery that is easily user-replaceable without tools, eliminating a major point of obsolescence for modern smartphones.
