Editorial report
Fairphone 4 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Fairphone 4 suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with expandable storage and optical image stabilization on its main camera. The trade-off is its build: at 225 g and 10.5 mm thick, it weighs more and is thicker than most phones launched around the same time. It also has IP54 protection and MIL-STD-810G certification.
Its hardware is better than that of most phones from the same period. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones of its time; its 79.7% screen-to-body ratio is lower than most. The 48 MP main camera has an f/1.6 aperture, among the brightest of its time, as well as optical image stabilization. There is also a 48 MP ultrawide camera.
The 3905 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time and supports 20 W charging. Android 11, Nano-SIM and eSIM, NFC, and USB Type-C round out the specifications. With an overall standing that is typical and a NeoScore of 5.3, the Fairphone 4 is best suited to buyers who prioritize expandable storage and camera features and accept a lower-capacity battery and a heavy, thick body.
